How many Facebook users “like” each of North Carolina’s major newspapers? Here is the ranking (as of 12/22):
1. Fayetteville Observer: 7,629
2. Charlotte Observer: 7,547
3. Carolina Journal/JLF: 6,725
4. Wilmington Star-News: 6,436
5. Independent Weekly: 5,246
6. Greensboro News & Record: 4,662
7. Winston-Salem Journal: 4,208
8. News & Observer: 3,722
9. Asheville Citizen-Times: 2,919
10. Charlotte Business Journal: 1,260
11. Triangle Business Journal: 883
12. Durham Herald-Sun: 608
Some of this reflects the size of the local market, competition within the market, niche readership, and/or use of Facebook by the newspaper staff. In other cases (e.g., News & Observer), it probably reflects genuine dislike of the product.
Anyway, give the gift of a Facebook “like” to Carolina Journal/JLF today.
