ABC trumps news.com.au in online news readership

As we swing into election season, international wars continue to play out, and a new US President enters office, ABC News has gained 731,000 readers in a month, while News.com.au has shed over 400,000.

This is according to the new Ipsos Iris data, which saw ABC News back on top as the country’s most-read news site. The national broadcaster drew 12.48 million readers during January, a 6.2% jump from December. News.com.au dropped 3.4% to slide into second, with 11.76 million readers.

Interestingly, ABC isn’t the only outlet to see a substantial leap in readership. Daily Mail Australia’s audience grew 12.1%, to reach 8.65 million, while the Guardian climbed to 7.96 million, a 8.9% increase.
