12. THE ICONIC DRUDGE REPORT
Shaping the News Cycle
“Because of the sheer number of people who look at it and because of the attention it gets from the media, what
appears on Drudge can, for a few minutes or an entire day, drive what appears elsewhere, making it, a
force in the political news cycle for both the press and the campaigns.”
–David Chalian, ABC News
ABC NEWS
Drives More News Traffic than Twitter or Facebook
“Two decades later, Drudge remains an influential driver of traffic to top news sites. The Drudge Report’s influence
cuts across both traditional organizations such as ABC News to more tabloid style outlets such as the New York Post.
What’s more, Drudge Report drove more links than Facebook or Twitter on all the sites to which it drove traffic.”
—The Pew Research Center’s Project for Excellence in Journalism
JOURNALISM.ORG
Trusted News Source
“According to my analysis, the Drudge Report is approximately
the most fair, balanced, and centrist news outlet in the
United States.”
—Tim Groseclose, UCLA political science professor and author of Left Turn
On a scale of 0–100, Groseclose ranked Drudge Report neutral when
compared to other popular news media outlets.

Fortunately, we now have much more sophisticated ways of
measuring campaign performance! We can look at a campaign’s
view-through impact to determine how your ad units influence
your audience to think, feel, and act differently than they
would have otherwise. We then put these actionable insights
to work, optimizing your campaign to drive more sales, signups,
responses, and more.

toes in the murky waters of the internet, their
focus was on the most tangible evidence of
