news Industry: AI Readiness Analysis
The news industry includes 6,931 domains in the SEODiff Radar, with an average AI-Readiness score of 38.7/100 — -5.2 points below the global baseline of 43.9.
Among news sites, 12.5% block GPTBot. This is above the 8.6% global average — indicating this industry may be more protective of its content. Only 20.1% of sites have structured data markup, which is one of the easiest wins for improving AI visibility.
The average ghost ratio is 6% and token bloat averages 19.6x. High token bloat means AI crawlers spend most of their token budget on boilerplate rather than content.
