NEWSQUEST Media Group, the publisher of The Northern Echo, continues to deliver strong audience growth across its online network.
A latest ABC report for the period July to December 2016 shows average daily visitors to Newsquest local websites grew to 1.48 million, up 15.1 per cent compared to the same period in the previous year.
In January 2017, 27 million unique users visited the Newsquest online network.
Toby Granville, Newsquest Media Group editorial development director, said: “It’s encouraging to see Newsquest’s local sites continuing to deliver strong overall audience growth, while we are also seeing strong growth in user engagement in both returning visitors and page impressions.
“Many of our sites now reach more than 70 per cent of the adult population of their towns and cities at least once a month giving our advertisers a phenomenally powerful local audience.”
