We’re back with your July 2025 Audience Benchmarking Update.
This month’s snapshot shows a sharp reset for North American news audiences. Engagement across 480+ U.S. and Canadian news brands fell 19.5% in visitors and 21.1% in pageviews year-over-year—reflecting the absence of 2024’s political-event surge. Compared to 2023, declines were far less severe, aligning with historical trends.
