The BBC was the most engaged-with brand in March based on total minutes spent with its sites and apps. Audiences spent 9.2bn with all BBC content in March (an increase of 8% compared to February), 2.1bn minutes with Mail Online (an increase of 15%), 940m minutes with The Guardian (up 12%) and 735m minutes with Sky News (up 13%). Across the top 50 as a whole, the fastest-growing list was dominated by regional newsbrands. Reach’s Nottinghamshire Live (ranked 43rd for audience size) was the fastest-growing name in the list, up 46% month-on-month to reach 3.6 million people.

The volume of media coverage is the total number of articles published in 2022. The average engagement per article is the total number of engagements divided by the total volume of articles. Our research team lists and regularly updates the top media outlets according to reports released by national auditors. Americans are more polarized than ever — if you’re like us, you see it in the news and on your social media feeds every day. The AllSides Media Bias Chart™ shows the political bias of some of the most-read sources in America. The news media or news industry are forms of mass media that focus on delivering news to the general public.

Additionally, these labels include a small icon of a flag to signal the account’s status as a government account and of a podium for state-affiliated media. A story published on VOD earlier that week had quoted a government spokesperson as saying that Hun Manet had signed an aid agreement in response to the earthquake in Turkey instead of his father, an act that Hun Manet denies. As joint chief of staff and deputy commander for the country’s armed forces, this allegation would suggest that Hun Manet had acted outside of his remit.

Ipsos’ data measures the total unduplicated number of people who used a brand’s websites and apps in a given month and includes all traffic, not necessarily just news. The mass media is one of the social forces with the strongest transformative power. According to Herman and Chomsky’s Propaganda Model (PM) [1], there are many factors that shape the distribution and influence of news media coverage. Two of the most important factors are the geographic reach of newspapers (national versus regional newspapers), the direct targeting of specific sectors of the population, and/or the political ideology of the media outlet itself. The PM states that each linguistic account of an event must pass through five filters that define what is newsworthy. One such filter, the advertising filter (the second in the PM), predicts that outlets will try to cater to a target demographic’s expectations, rather than being fair in their treatment of what is news.

The BBC was as usual the leading site by far for number of visits in December (669.1m). In third place, and the only other site to break 100m UK visits in the month, was theguardian.com (125.1m visits) while the Express site came in fourth place with 85.1m visits last month. Overall, UK news consumers spent most time with the BBC (7.8bn minutes), followed by Mail Online (1.9bn minutes) and The Guardian (799.7m minutes). Huffpost (4.4 million people, up 29%) and Samsung’s news aggregator Upday (3.9 million people, up 27%) also saw growth of more than 20% compared to June. The UK broadcaster was one of six top ten brands to grow its audience in July. It was followed by The Telegraph (audience of 16.7 million, up 8%), Daily Express (audience of 17 million, up 5%) and Manchester Evening News (audience of 16 million, up 3%).

They were curated based on industry knowledge and my experience analyzing news articles over the past 15 years. These are raw numbers and account for all articles published in 2022 on each business news outlet. These publications have built loyal audiences of business leaders and industry insiders who turn to them for insights on the latest trends.

Yet majorities in both groups – 80% of those who turn mainly to Fox News and 66% of those who turn mainly to NPR – say each outlet presents news differently than most outlets. In addition to asking Americans whether they got political news from various outlets in the past week, the survey also asked respondents in an open-ended question what their main source of political news is. The Center then asked them to decide whether their mainsource of news is part of the mainstream media or not – and whether they think that source presents news differently from most outlets.

We prioritise next day deliveries over standard orders and will contact you if any goes wrong with the order. We evaluated the model using a random shuffle cross validation that leaves 20% of the dataset for testing, and trains the regressor in the remaining 80%. Each experiment is repeated 100 times and the average score and standard deviation are reported. The data in all three dimensions was aggregated at the level of communes and normalized by calculating the z-score of each area on each feature.

The audience to the Manchester Evening News, the only top ten newsbrand to see any audience growth in April, was in contrast down 12% to 16 million. The BBC was well out ahead for both minutes spent with its online content and for page views. Sky News grew its audience by 10% compared to June to reach 19.8 million people in the UK over 15 according to data from Ipsos iris. The site’s audience was up 8% month-on-month in August to reach 18.3 million people.

The Sun has historically been in second place behind the BBC, although Mail Online was also ahead of the News UK brand in May and June. Reach’s Bristol Live was third-fastest growing with audience up 46% to 4.7 million, knocking last month’s third-fastest growing newsbrand, Global’s LBC into fourth place (3.6 million people, up 36% year-on-year). However the remaining five top ten biggest newsbrands saw audience declines with The Telegraph (13.8 million, down 24%) and The Sun (23.6 million, down 18%) recording the largest falls. Among the ten biggest newsbrands, The Independent (audience of 21 million, up 8% year-on-year), The Guardian (22 million, up 2%) and the BBC (38.3 million, up 1%) also grew last month. ITV and Mail Online were the fastest-growing top ten newsbrands by audience size in October, according to Press Gazette’s latest monthly ranking. Of the ten sites with the biggest year-on-year falls, eight were owned by Reach.

They were led by Irish Mirror (4.1m minutes, up 93% month-on-month) and Healthline Media (37.9m minutes, up 31%). The majority of brands saw engagement up, with 30 of the top 50 brands seeing  audiences spending more time with them in May compared to April. While audiences spent most time with the BBC overall (8.5 billion minutes), Sportbible saw the biggest month-on-month gain in total time spent with the brand (16.2 million minutes, up 59%). Most brands saw less engagement in June but there were a few notable exceptions. ITV saw a large jump in total time spent with the brand in June (799.5 million minutes, up 76%) possibly due to the return of its hit programme Love Island, as did Hello! Magazine (85 million minutes, up 39%) and Ladbible (72.1 million minutes, up 20%).

Cardin also denounced Hungary’s treatment of the U.S. ambassador to Budapest, David Pressman, whom he met a day earlier. A business-friendly ‘Industrial Deal’ is gaining adherents as EU election approaches and anxiety over climate policy rises.

Lukashenko's regime regularly targets those who have voiced opposition to his rule or openly hold pro-democracy views and continues to crack down on those with links to the mass protests that followed the Belarusian presidential election in 2020.

In previous work [16] (and references therein), we analyze the nature of bias through a political quiz. Our study shows that even the political bias could have some economic factors. The authors estimate the bias in newspapers according to how similar their language is compared to that used by congressmen for which a right/left stand is known.

Through its acquisition of Dotdash-Meredith, it also controls several online news and information providers such as People Magazine, The Balance, Entertainment Weekly, Better Homes & Gardens, Food + Wine, and Lifewire, among several others. Naspers is a multinational holding company with interests across several of the nation's newspapers, magazines, and book publishers, as well as a majority stake in the country's largest news media company, Media24. Naspers has also engaged in a number of international joint ventures, including in Holland and China including a 29% stake in the media giant Tencent. The “foreign agents” label, which can be slapped on media outlets as well as individual journalists, also drives away advertisers, as the very popular news website Meduza found in May. Media that refuse to use the label after being added to the list face heavy fines and the threat of closure, as seen with Radio Svoboda.

This month Press Gazette's analysis includes for the first time visits to MSN.com and Yahoo! News. In line with the global picture, a minority (10) of sites saw year-on-year traffic increases compared to last October. Of the leading  five sites by volume of visits, all have seen a slump in visits over 2021, although the Guardian saw a small 1% uptick in traffic between September and October. Of this leading group of sites, Mirror.co.uk saw the biggest fall (visits were down 30% year-on-year at 49.7 million). The Sun Online (54.9 million visits- down 28%), Sky News (35.2 million visitors - down 27%) and The Guardian's site ( 111.5 million visits - down 27%) also saw significant falls of over 25%. Manchester Evening News was however, the only brand among the top ten for audience size to see month-on-month growth (up 5%).

The audit also

helped challenge our assumptions about our editorial output. For

example, we had long assumed that we have a good gender balance of

writers, but we were surprised to find that only 38 per cent of our

content was produced by women. Knowing this means we are now working to

reverse this disconnect between our progressive and inclusive mission

and what were actually doing in this and other areas.

The most trusted sources among those with mostly liberal political values are similar to those of web panelists overall – but they trust these sources at higher rates. About two-thirds of those with mostly liberal political values trust CNN (66%), and majorities also trust NBC News (63%), ABC News (59%) and CBS News (55%). By contrast, those with mostly conservative political values, on average, trust and distrust about the same number of sources, about six each, while the average consistent conservative distrusts more media sources than they trust (8.8 vs. 5.6).

Better yet, have your marketing department invest in market research so you can narrow down the digital media outlet for which you’re pitching. This means that by default, news media sites assume all readers are adults and treat the data of all visitors the same, so children’s data is almost certainly provided to brokers — it just isn’t labeled as such. None of the other top ten newsbrands by audience size saw month-on-month growth in March, however. Last month’s fastest growing top ten newsbrand, The Mirror, saw an audience that remained largely unchanged (26.4m people, 53% reach). Of the ten largest newsbrands by audience size, Sky News saw the biggest month-on-month growth compared to April reaching 17.4 million people (up 7%), according to data from Ipsos iris.

Established international and news brands were among those that saw the biggest year-on-year falls in traffic. Visits to CNN's sites (cnn.com and edition.cnn.com) were down by 33% to 13.9 million, while visits to newyorktimes.com were 28% less than in September 2020 at 7.7 million. Like-for-like comparisons will be affected by the surge in traffic to news sites in 2020 due to a particularly intense news cycle last year.

Although the focus of this report is not the particular news stories with the widest reach, looking into the most popular content specifically shared by these media outlets enabled us to get deeper insights. Overall, there was 61 content from the three groups of outlets that attracted at least 10,000 interactions each on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram from January to November 2020. As seen in the table, the independent outlets’ in Group A have five times more Facebook interaction than Group B’s pro-government outlets. Group A’s pages grew almost 10 percent, while Group A’s page likes shrank 0.61% in the past year.

Commentators describe this as the latest in a series of actions that are weakening democracy in Cambodia. Democracy cannot exist without an independent media, says Dana Green, Chair of the IBA Media Law Committee. ‘The government's closure of VOD is clearly a violation of basic principles of freedom of the press,’ she says. The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (NDAA) requires certain U.S.-based foreign media outlets to submit reports every 6 months to the Commission regarding the outlets' relations to their foreign principals.

The Times, notably, is a member of IAB, the lobby group that defends the digital advertising industry from regulation. Under President Joe Biden and FTC Chair Lina Khan, the advertising technology industry is facing its first real challenge of federal regulation. There are several bills in Congress that attempt to define and restrict the types of data collected on users and how that data is monetized. Last July, Biden called for the FTC to promulgate rules over the “surveillance of users” in his landmark executive order on competition, which identified unfair data collection as a challenge to both competition and privacy.

Formally known as The Huffington Post, Huff Post is one of the world’s most visited news outlets and covers everything from breaking news to popular media, lifestyle, comedy, healthy news, and technology stories. When it comes to top media outlets, CNN is the world leader in news and information. Staffed 24/7, it is one of the most popular online media outlets and has over 4,000 staff working across the globe to cover major events and stories.

When the details are considered, though, it is seen that diversity is a problem on this count as well. Out of these 182 news sources, 6 of them got more than 1,000 slots each, having more visibility than the rest of the 178 outlets combined. The remaining content is the only one from a Group B outlet that managed to enter the Top 10 list.

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.

This prevents us from creating a characterization of the outlets that better reflect the actual preference for a population with either a certain political profile or a socioeconomic range, but not both. Your reliable guide in the online world of these two dimensions may be due to the reality of the studied country. With the gravity model we want to characterize the news attention as a function of population size and distance from the media source. As we mention before, we model the source as the commune where the headquarter of the news outlet is located or based on the name of the outlet.

All have won a variety of national awards over the years, including Best Specialist Radio Show at the Student Radio Awards to Best Newspaper and Best Magazine at the Herald Student Media Awards. There were nearly 29.7 million internet users by December 2021, comprising 78% of the population (Internetworldstats.com). Private media are better trusted than public broadcasters who have been acting in recent years "more like government cheerleaders", Reuters Institute has said. We’ve been working hard to bring you independent, locally-sourced news from Ukraine. 11 other local and regional titles made the top 15, including seven from the UK’s biggest regional publisher Reach. The website of Scottish free-to-air broadcaster STV was the fastest-growing site between June 2020 and June 2021, according to data from web analytics company Similarweb, which combines traffic to both news.stv.tv and stv.tv.

Reaching millions every week with various topics, including politics, entertainment, and DIY, it has become a staple in the news coverage world. It was initially a well-known hit for its online quizzes and quirky listicles (“10 Important Life Lessons You Can Learn From Cats”). 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.

On the same note, Pew Research Center reported that nowadays up to 93% of U.S. adults consume some news online [25], and to do so they use official news organizations websites and social media in equal shares (36% vs. 35% respectively) [26]. However, regardless of https://www.google.com.om/url?q=https://telegra.ph/Professional-Media-Outlets-02-03 use to get to news, readers overwhelmingly favor professional news organizations to get their news (76%) [27]. This move is also deeply motivated by the market and the task to increase advertising revenue. In 2016 digital advertising constituted approximatively 37% of all advertising revenue (not just news outlets), and Facebook alone comprises for 35% of digital advertising revenue [25]. We did not conduct a more comprehensive affinity analysis between and in these two groups.

But the overall audience distributions can differ even for outlets that are similarly placed. Still, several of the most popular sources among consistent liberals differ from other groups. About half of panelists (48%) have heard of Beck’s radio program, and by about two-to-one, more panelists distrust than trust it (24% vs. 10%). Other outlets elicit high levels of both trust and distrust, making it useful to look at the two measures side by side.

This group may be the public in general, or a relatively large audience within the public. Thus, an Internet channel may distribute text or music worldwide, while a public address system in (for example) a workplace may broadcast very limited ad hoc soundbites to a small population within its range. Try not to bombard journalists with stories that won't be of interest for publication. What may be big news for your business, may not be newsworthy to the general public.

The location may be determined by the intended audience if the name of the commune is in the name of the outlets (e.g., soyConcepcion is assigned to Concepcion city) or by the location of its headquarters. For example, Soy Concepcion is owned by the El Mercurio Group, which is also the group that owns one of the largest newspapers of the capital region (also called El Mercurio). The dynamic landscape of business media today requires PR professionals to take a more targeted, data-driven approach to securing meaningful coverage. Instead, by leveraging data analytics to identify key media outlets and journalists, PR teams can focus on those most likely to provide valuable coverage for their client or industry. This strategic approach ensures PR activities are not wasted but concentrated on publications and reporters with an established interest in the subject matter. The top business media outlets—including major publications like Forbes, Fortune, Bloomberg Businessweek, and The Wall Street Journal—are critical targets for PR professionals.

To date, there has been comparatively little large-scale, quantitative research on the relationship between the quality and diversity of the content generated by the media, and the socioeconomic indices of a particular area of coverage. In this paper, we try to find whether or not an outlet’s coverage deviates from the purely geographic influence to a more sophisticated behavior involving the weight of political and socioeconomic interests for example, as operationalized by Prat and Strömberg. We examine the degree to which different geographic locations in the same regions are covered by existing news outlets using Chilean social media data. We quantify how much of this coverage can be explained by a natural geographic targeting (e.g., local newspapers will give more importance to local news), and how much can be attributed to the political and socioeconomic profile of the areas they serve. To find these coverage effects as predicted by the PM and PS models, we look for empirical evidence in the massive adoption of social networks. More specifically, we use statistical models that show how much of the distribution of Twitter followers can be explained based on the geographic, political and socioeconomic features of the different areas.

This month however, Sky News overtook The Sun to become the fourth-most engaged with news brand in terms of minutes spent with its content m minutes compared to 641m minutes with The Sun. Its growth put the title, which hit 10m subscriptions in February, in the top half of the table in seventeenth position. It was the second best-ranked non-domestic newsbrand in the list one place behind US group Healthline Media, publisher of Healthline.com, Medical News Today and Psych Central. Of the ten brands with the biggest audiences, Reach’s Manchester Evening News saw the most growth. It was followed by The Independent (2% growth, audience of 23.2m) and The Guardian (2% increase, audience of 22.5m).
