Time spent on newspaper Web sites

I'm curious about how time spent on newspaper Web sites is measured. If the same kind of numbers are compared each time and they show a drop, that's a legitimate concern. But I wonder about how the total is measured.

Hi Brian! Thanks for the comment on my blog. I've been trying to access that link you referenced, with no luck. Maybe you can send it to me?
By the way, I'm a Newhouse grad school alum and I did my first internship at the Post-Standard back in 2002. Ouch, was that really six years ago now? Anyway, great to see you here!
