Visits to gbnews.com were up 650% year-on-year as the brand reached an audience of 6.2 million people in September - although its audience was down from August’s total of 6.6 million. Liverpool Echo (7.8 million, down 40%), Chronicle Live (5.5 million, down 39%) and My London (2.9 million, down 48%) - all Reach newsbrands - saw the biggest year-on-year falls in the top 50. The BBC was once again at the top of the table for most time spent with its content (9.5 billion minutes in November), followed by Mail Online (1.5 billion minutes) and The Guardian (1.1 billion minutes). All three saw slight month-on-month falls with time spent with their content. Visits to ITV were up 20% year-on-year as the brand reached an audience of 15.5 million people, while visits to the Daily Mail were up 17% to 24.9 million, according to data from Ipsos iris.
The BBC led on engagement, with audiences spending 9.4 billion minutes with the brand in May which represents no change from April. It was again well ahead of second placed Mail Online (2.1 billion minutes) and third-placed Guardian (1.1 billion minutes), which overtook ITV this month due to a month-on-month audience boost for the newspaper publisher. Among the top 50 as a whole, fastest-growing was GB News (6.7 million, up 643%). The broadcaster switched to a .com URL earlier this year which Ipsos began tracking in April, meaning that not all growth will be organic, but the brand has nevertheless seen a huge surge in its online audience. Digital chief Geoff Marsh recently told Press Gazette that GB News intends to become one of the UK’s biggest news websites. The BBC was again the UK’s biggest newsbrand by audience size (37.7 million visitors), while Mail Online retained its second place spot having overtaken The Sun in August to become the UK’s largest commercial newsbrand in our ranking (23.9 million visitors).

It was followed by women’s lifestyle publication Cosmopolitan (6.2 million visitors, up 37%) and entertainment site Time Out (5.2 million visitors, up 34%).
Manchester Evening News continued to slip down the table after dropping out of the top ten earlier this year. It was ranked fifteenth in October (audience of 11.9 million, down 33% year-on-year). MEN is no longer the largest regional newsbrand in our ranking, as Birmingham Live was ranked thirteenth (audience of 12.5 million). Among the whole top 50, GB News, which switched to a new .com URL earlier this year, saw the largest audience growth by far, with audience up 758% year-on-year to 6 million. This represents the seventh month in a row for which GB News has been the fastest-growing newsbrand in the UK top 50.

The United Kingdom has been involved with the Internet throughout its origins and development. The telecommunications infrastructure in the United Kingdom provides internet access to businesses and home users in various forms, including fibre, cable, DSL, wireless and mobile. The United Kingdom has a diverse range of providers, the most prominent being the publicly owned and funded British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC). The BBC's largest competitors are ITV plc, which operates 13 of the 15 regional television broadcasters that make up the ITV Network, the Sky Group and the publicly owned and commercially funded Channel Four Television Corporation.

Next best-ranked was Mail Online (2 billion minutes), and ITV (889.2 million). Reflecting its increased reach, the total minutes spent with ITV were up by 46% year-on-year. ITV’s audience was up 25% year-on-year and 5% month-on-month to reach 17.2 million people, according to data from Ipsos iris.
The peak was more than 10,000,000 searches for “Kamala Harris” in the aftermath of the presidential elections and “Sean Connery” after the actor’s death. Google picked NPR as the top source for the Harris story and BBC News for Connery. These findings can also be considered in the context of the Turkish government’s latest move to block Twitter for failing to appoint local representatives as required by the new Social Media Law. On Google News, without using the search function, we scraped the homepage every hour for a month, recording the titles, row orders and URLs for five news articles in each of the top five “Headlines” boxes on this platform.

As with the BBC, some of the audience will include visitors to ITV’s non-news content such as its entertainment programming.
Your window to verified credible information graphed it with Harel-Cohen Fast Multiscale, but any other algorithm would produce the same results because the sample size is small and other parameters are not complex. For this research, we acquired the Gemius Audience dataset for October 2020 to publicly reveal for the first time the overall digital reach and real users of each news outlet in the three groups that we studied. The set includes data on sociodemographic audience composition while providing our three groups’ reach specifically to various segments in Turkey based on age, gender, and socioeconomic status (SES). You can start by tracking any mentions of your clients by media outlets including social media, blogs, and news organizations with media monitoring software. That way you know where you client is being mentioned, so you can focus your attention elsewhere.

Most reporters file information or write their stories electronically from remote locations. In many cases, breaking stories are written by staff members, through information collected and submitted by other reporters who are out on the field gathering information for an event that has just occurred and needs to be broadcast instantly. Radio and television reporters often compose stories and report "live" from the scene. Some journalists also interpret the news or offer opinions and analysis to readers, viewers, or listeners. In a 2021 survey, the Reuters Institute rated it the most trusted media news brand among English-speaking online news users in the country.

Out of the valid users, only 2041 had a GPS set of coordinates, and 381,166 did explicit reference to a commune. This gave us a total of 383,207 unique followers that we were able to assign with high confidence to one of the 346 communes in Chile. This is comparable with the 602,810 users that we will use as our sample of followers of the news outlets. We use a regression model to study the influence of geographic, socioeconomic and political characteristics of the communes that may attract profit-driven media coverage. We try to predict the ranking of communes for each outlet based on the number of followers from each commune.
We also measure the explanatory power of each individual dimension on the media coverage. For this, we calculate the Kendall-Tau (KT) correlation of the corresponding feature against the number of followers per commune for each news outlet. The results of these measurements should give information on the marketing strategy of different outlets. According to the PM and PS models, direct targeting of specific sectors of the population shape the distribution of news.
Although some of the brands on the list such as Apple and Google are well-known names in news, given the wide reach of their other non-news content we have excluded them from our custom list. For our list, we used Ipsos’ ranking of the top online brand groups and selected the 50 biggest considered to be news sources by Press Gazette. From July onwards, this list of 50 is drawn from a list of 100 traditional and digital native online brands which in our view present editorially-driven content covering news, current events, lifestyle and culture.
That statistic alone should tell you where you need to be pitching your content. Knowing where to put your news is half the battle to effectively communicating with your audiences.

The Cambodian government has a reputation for eliminating civil dissent and opposition; a point demonstrated in early March when the opposition leader, Kem Sokha, was imprisoned for 27 years on treason charges. UN experts criticised Sokha’s trial and conviction as ‘further evidence of an ongoing pattern of the misapplication of laws to target political opponents and any critic of the Government’ in a statement in early March. ‘Repressive laws are routinely misused to restrict civic freedoms and criminalise human rights defenders, trade unionists, youth activists, journalists, opposition politicians and other critical voices’, says Benedict.

And Google’s algorithm in Turkey still channels disproportionally more users to these pro-government newspapers while suppressing the independent outlets in contrary to the popular demand reflected in its own search trends data. Emre Kızılkaya from IPI Turkey had reported in July 2020 that Google’s Top News carousel frequently features hate speech, propaganda and disinformation from pro-Erdoğan media outlets. Kavala has been under arrest for more than three years with no evidence but the conspiracy theories spread by pro-government outlets.
