WSJ.com managing editor Bill Grueskin says reporters care deeply about whether their stories show up in the Top 10 or not. "I think that's not a bad thing [because] you can get a sense of what type of stories your readers care deeply about and you can try to formulate your coverage along the lines of what your readers want." Mark Glaser asks if there's a danger in pandering to readers. "Not with our readers. ...Journalists historically have spent a lot of time covering subjects that readers aren’t interested in, and it's starting to bite back now. It’s helpful for [journalists] to get a sense of what people read and what they don't."
