PRESS RELEASE

The Top News Sites of 2008 is compiled by www.newsknife.com from their analysis of listings by news sites at Google News during 2008.

1 New York Times
2 Associated Press
3 Reuters
4 Washington Post
5 Voice of America
6 CNN
7 Los Angeles Times
8 Bloomberg
9 BBC News, UK
10 Christian Science Monitor
11 ABC News
12 FOX News

This is the seventh year of Newsknife's "Top News Sites" ratings.

Newsknife's ratings are based on monitoring the main US-oriented Google News site. New York Times headed our Top 12 for the second year. However, Associated Press swept most of Newsknife's major ratings and we believe that its impact at Google News is the big news story there this year. More... www.newsknife.com.

UN News: Aid Access Is Key Priority

Among the key issues facing diplomats is securing the release of a reported 199 Israeli hostages, seized during the Hamas raid. “History is watching,” says Emergency Relief Coordinator Martin Griffiths. “This war was started by taking those hostages. Of course, there's a history between Palestinian people and the Israeli people, and I'm not denying any of that. But that act alone lit a fire, which can only be put out with the release of those hostages.” More
