Media sites on the rise

Internet Most Swiss media websites grew in August. This is the result of the new Net-Audit figures from Wemf. Blick Online is ahead in terms of visits: Wemf reports around 7.3 million visits to the tabloid's website. However, the growth compared to the previous month is rather low at 3.3 percent. NZZ Online recorded 6.3 million visits and an increase of 7.8 percent. Tagesanzeiger.ch accounted for almost 4.4 million visits, which corresponds to an increase of 6.5 percent, and even before the launch of Cash Daily, Cash Online was able to grow again after posting a loss in the previous month: The Ringier-owned site recorded a good 1.1 million visits, an increase of 19.7 percent. Azonline.ch and 24heures.ch were among the few losers. The former website lost 0.8 percentage points in terms of visits and now has 0.4 million visits. The website of the French-speaking Swiss daily newspaper lost 5 percentage points. (cs)
