Yes, everyone knows that even though some folks denounce it the New York Times will be heavily linked by bloggers. But what if you did a survey and tried to find out which newspaper had the highest number of blog links, proportionate to its subscribed readership?
We’ll give you a hint: TMV used to write for it from Madrid (with the byline “Special Correspondent of The Christian Science Monitor) and it’s often linked to on this site. It has some of the most thoughtful and balanced news stories in the U.S. press. And while it’s not as big as the Times, there are many who trust it more.
Ready for the answer?
And here’s the newspaper’s site.
