The Washington Post Co. reported its first-quarter earnings on Friday, and, in what is increasingly the routine, the news coming out of the newspaper division was mostly grim.

The Pernicious Myth That Slideshows Drive 'Traffic'
theatlantic.com —
For a time, people measured site 'traffic' by the number of page views on that site. So, any time someone opened a page on that publication, it counted as one. Shortly thereafter, people started juicing the pageview stats by throwing up a bunch of pictures and asking people to click through them.

Decline Of Reader Apps Likely Due To News Feed Changes, Shows Facebook Controls The Traffic Faucet

No, Facebook news reader apps aren't declining because users suddenly got fed up with auto-sharing. The traffic loss is likely due to "trending articles", a new way of surfacing recently read articles in the news feed that Facebook is testing.
