Fox News Digital Network and the New York Daily News Online saw a 49 percent year-on-year increase in traffic last month, while the Huffington Post, which saw slight declines, remains a heavily visited site in a Nielsen study of May's top thirty news sites, Editor & Publisher reported.

The top five of the study are, in this order, MSNBC Digital Network, Yahoo! News, CNN Digital Network, AOL News, and NYTimes.com.

Both AOL News and NYTimes.com made the top five list despite seeing negative growth for the month of May, though NYTimes.com has disputed the study's findings, saying that Nielsen's figures don't match their internal data or that of other sources.
