s reported by Howard Kurtz in today's Washington Post, the Committee of Concerned Journalists has published the first comprehensive study of the 2000 U.S. Presidential Campaign. Their researchers found that National Review Online consistently ranked among the best sites for offering fresh, exclusive political reporting.

As reported by Kurtz, "The greatest volume of original reporting appeared on Go.com/ABC News, Washingtonpost.com, MSNBC and National Review, followed by Time's Pathfinder, Nytimes.com, the Microsoft Network and CNN. Nytimes.com offered the most frequent updates among such sites."

Though not immediately available for comment, the staff of NRO was reportedly so giddy with excitement, they declined to send flowers to the gang over at the New York Times. To read the report yourself, go to www.journalism.org.
