Australians return to news sites after lazy April

Australians have returned to the major news websites, after readership dropped by millions across the country’s top publications during an April plagued by elections, tariffs, and lazy, long weekends away from the screen.

In April, eight of the top ten news sites collectively lost close to three million readers, with nine.com.au alone dropping over a million Australians.

This month, escalating world conflicts, Labor’s landslide victory, a captivating mushroom murder trial, and the NSW mid-north coast floods drew readers back to the news, with just the Daily Mail and 7news.com.au losing audience during the month.
