Rating: the most popular world mass media (by attendance)

With the advent of the Internet in our lives, fewer and fewer people began to use print media. Many media outlets had to close, while others completely switched to the development of the web version of their publication.

The most popular news websites are visited by millions of people per day, but with the advent of social networks and instant messengers, many people get information from there.

We decided to compile a list of the most popular news websites in the world today. The data was obtained from the Websiteoutlook service, where you can see the approximate number of unique page views on the site per day and the approximate cost of the domain name. It is worth noting that this data does not represent 100% accurate results that website owners see in their traffic analytics. However, you can get a rough picture of which news websites have a larger audience than their competitors.

We did not include in our list websites of news aggregators such as Google News, Yandex.News, Yahoo, and others. Also, the ranking does not include the largest news websites in China, India, Brazil, Canada, and Australia. We have added exclusively leading news brands that can boast not only local audiences but also international audiences.

Find out which are the most visited news websites in the world right now.
