FishbowlLA LA Media News, Unspooled

Thanks to Drudge N-Word Headline, THR Wednesday Web Traffic Was Off the Chain Dec 14th 2012, 20:15 The “D” in Drudge Report was anything but silent this past Wednesday for The Hollywood Reporter. As Max Read on Gawker, Derek Thompson of The Atlantic and other media watchers noted, Drudge went crazy with a 40-point, multiple N-word headline pointing to Todd McCarthy‘s Django Unchained review. Having here at FishbowlLA had a brush or two with the dynamite known as a Drudge mention, we were curious how much traffic – exactly - the item in question received December 12. A spokesperson for THR tells us McCarthy’s Django review registered an astounding 1,000,137 page views. Drudge often links to McCarthy THR reviews, and not every one of those Wednesday clicks came from his site. But for McCarthy to garner one million hits a day ahead of playing along in an Onion item about The Hobbit, well that’s almost too cool for Quentin Tarantino school. continued… New Career Opportunities Daily: The best jobs in media.
