ABC News leads the pack as The Australian jumps 45%

ABC News and news.com.au are moving further ahead of their Australian news rivals, with over 3.5 million readers separating the country’s top two sites from Nine in third place.

ABC News had over 13 million monthly readers in August, according to the Ipsos iris ranking report, which measures the country’s most-read news website, extrapolating the reading habits from 8,000 devices to achieve a national representation. News.com.au had 12.683 million for the month, a 5.4% jump from July.

The next most-read site is nine.com.au, which saw readership fall under the 10 million mark, to 9.106 million for the month. This represented a drop of 10.7%.  Seven News and The Guardian are both nipping at Nine’s heels, with 7news.com.au sitting at 8.394 million readers, and The Guardian gaining 8.6% to reach 8.077 million readers.
