News.com.au and ABC neck-and-neck in readership figures

News.com.au was Australia’s most-read news site throughout August, but the ABC has come within a whisker of taking the mantle.

Just 10,000 monthly readers separated news.com.au from ABC News in August, with 12.29 million readers visiting the former, and 12.28 million ABC readers.

Nine.com.au was the third most-read news site, with 10.5 million monthly readers, with the network dropping over 200,000 viewers during their Olympic period. Similarly, the Sydney Morning Herald also lost roughly 200,000 readers during this period, and The Age lost roughly half a million.
