Download the July 2025 Audience Benchmarking Update from Mather

August 12th, 2025


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.

Powered by Similarweb, Listener™, and Sophi, this update highlights:

  • Performance by brand tier—from Top 25 leaders to micro outlets

  • Engagement gaps and which audience segments are thriving

  • Regional brands bucking the downward trend

📊 Download the July Audience Benchmark Snapshot to see how your brand stacks up and the strategies separating leaders from laggards.
