Online Newspaper Audiences Grow Ahead of French Elections

Over the past few years Le Figaro and Le Monde have fought for the crown of the largest online newspaper in France. In the last 15 months alone, the top spot changed hands 8 times. In February 2012, Le Figaro led the Newspaper category in France, having increased its audience by 45 percent from the previous year to reach nearly 6.1 million French internet users.

As newspapers are certain to play an influential role in covering the French presidential elections in late April and early May, the double digit growth across the leading newspaper sites suggest rising interest in political news amongst French internet users leading up to the elections.
