[Air-L] Number of Online News Websites?

Greetings, I'm sorry for the spam, but does anyone have, or know know where I can find, the most recent statistics on the number of online news websites in existence? Somehow I am having trouble finding records beyond 1999... Any pointer is greatly appreciated, and thank you in advance. :) Angela -- Angela M.
