American and Canadian political and hard news sites were among the biggest year-on-year web traffic gainers in the world in March 2025 amid a turbulent start to the second Trump administration.
Strong growth from The New York Times, coupled with a change in methodology from Similarweb, means it has overtaken the BBC to become number one on Press Gazette’s ranking of the top-50 English language news websites worldwide.
The Associated Press (148 million visits, up 64% year-on-year), Reuters (111.4 million, up 54%) and POLITICO (53.5 million, up 29%) saw the second, fourth and fifth largest increases to their web visits respectively compared to March 2024.
