Referrals from ChatGPT to news publishers increased by 25x year-over-year.
Publishers like Reuters, NY Post, and Business Insider have emerged as major beneficiaries.
However, outlets such as CNN, are absent from the referral rankings, while others, like the New York Times, are under-represented due to restrictions on ChatGPT sourcing or linking to their content.

@Similarweb @TheRealAdamG Is that number not shockingly low? General usage has increased by 211% according to 03 in the same time period and I would expect news queries to have risen even more as people’s trust in the models grows.
