Media website Press Gazette reports that the BBC insists that its news website remains more popular than Mail Online – “flatly contradicting a statement put out by the newspaper.” Citing figures from Comscore, Mail Online claimed 44.7 million unique global visitors in June – which it said gave it a 35% lead on the BBC News website. However, the BBC has hit back – saying Mail Online’s figures do not include traffic from the sport, weather and World Service parts of the BBC's news offering.
