In the month that the Prime Minister triggered Article 50, The Times made further revelations about Google and Facebook and Ad Week descended on London, UK newsbrands saw an extra 97 million unique browsers on average accessing digital content every day, compared with March 2016, says Newsworks.

Vanessa Clifford, CEO of Newsworks, said: "With 2017’s news agenda showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon, this month’s ABC figures prove that people are turning to UK newsbrands for news and informed analysis in order to understand and interpret the world.”
(theguardian.com is not included in this month’s ABC Web Traffic Certification as it transitions to a new data analytics provider that does not currently supply ABC with sufficient data for an audit. ABC is working with theguardian.com and the new data provider to resume certification in the coming months.)
