EMMA: Newspaper audiences still up; SMH leading online

The latest lot of EMMA data is in showing newspapers are still up, as the recent Nielsen Online Ratings show the Sydney Morning Herald is leading the online charge.

The amount of people reading newspapers and magazines in their various forms has stayed at its highest for the second consecutive month, according to the latest release of the EMMA (enhanced media metrics Australia) data.

Looking towards the newspapers with the highest total audiences, Fairfax Media’s The Sydney Morning Herald and News Corp’s Herald Sun and The Daily Telegraph form the top three with the SMH leading the charge at a total audience of 5.4 million.

The latest EMMA data show the Herald Sun with an audience of 4.3 million and The Daily Telegraph with 4.2 million.

While many magazines and newspapers have remained relatively the same compared to the previous month’s data, the Sunshine Coast Daily has recorded the fastest newspaper total audience growth overall, posting a 24% audience increase.

“While digital growth is leading the charge, printed newspapers continue to be read on a vast scale. Some 83% of Australians, or 14.7 million people, engage with newspaper journalism every month,” Mark Hollands, The Newspaper Works CEO, said.

“They may be keeping up with the major issues of the day via national or metropolitan newspapers, or staying in touch with what is happening where they live via regional or community newspapers.”

Meanwhile, over in the online world, Fairfax’s Sydney Morning Herald has taken the top place in the Nielsen Online Ratings, growing by 6.5% since the prior quarter.
