For the first six months of this year, it's up to 431,000. Fox News, its younger, more conservative competitor, routinely trounces it in the ratings, often garnering twice the household ratings and recently besting CNN in prime time for key coverage of the presidential debates. </DIV><BR /> <B>Sit-forward viewers</B><BR /><DIV> <A target="_blank" href="http://adage.com/images/random/0607/CNN2.pdf">Traffic continues to climb over at CNN.com</A>, however, with unique users up nearly 25% to 26 million in April compared with the same period last year. That, coupled with the 90 million worldwide subscribers to CNN Mobile, suggests that CNN's breaking-news model fits in better online among sit-forward viewers than it does in the sit-back environment of America's living rooms.</DIV></div></div></div></div><br><div style="margin-bottom: 40px;">Tags: <a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/cnn/" rel="tag">cnn</a>, <a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/cnn.com/" rel="tag">cnn.com</a></div>http://adage.com/mediaworks/article?article_id=117244Tue, 12 Jun 2007 03:20:14 GMThttp://clipmarks.com/clipmark/B2980A78-2F8A-4413-843A-D90BFCDAC246/<b>clipped by:</b> <a href="http://clipmarks.com/clipper/dorine/">dorine</a><br><b>clipper's remarks:</b> New way to protest! <br><div border="2" style="margin-top: 10px; border:#000000 1px solid;" width="90%"><div style="background-color:"><div align="center" width="100%" style="padding:4px;margin-bottom:4px;background-color:#666666;overflow:hidden;"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:bold;">Clip Source: <a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://www.wkrn.com/nashville/news/ap-1m-text-messages-protest-china-plant/98638.htm" title="http://www.wkrn.com/nashville/news/ap-1m-text-messages-protest-china-plant/98638.htm">www.wkrn.com</a></span></div><div style="padding: 10px;"><div style="text-align:left;"> A Chinese city has halted construction of a chemical plant after residents sent more than 1 million mobile phone text messages protesting possible pollution dangers, news reports said Thursday.</div></div><hr size="2" color="#666666" /><div style="padding: 10px;"><div style="text-align:left;"> The $1.4 billion facility being built by Tenglong Aromatic PX (Xiamen) Co.
