The Eyetrack III research released by The Poynter Institute, the Estlow Center for Journalism & New Media, and Eyetools could provide some direction for improving news websites.
In Eyetrack III, they observed 46 people for one hour as their eyes followed mock news websites and real multimedia content. The article provides an overview of what they observed.
Included in this article are hot spot images that show the eye patterns -- where they first landed on the page, what direction they moved, time spent at a particular spot on the page (pause), etc.
Quite a fascinating study that is worth looking at.
