million unique visitors in the United States in August, following a

During the month of August, the Post Digital Network generated

200 million mark. The Post’s digital audience has grown by 89% in
the last year and by 304% since August 2013.

million unique visitors consumed Post Digital Network content
across Facebook’s Instant Article and Google’s AMP platforms.
“We’re very happy to be on this record-breaking trajectory, and
it’s not happening by accident,” said Jesse Angelo, CEO and
Publisher of the New York Post and Post Digital Network. “Since we
oriented ourselves towards a digital-first newsroom, redesigned our
sites and launched the Post Digital Network, we have seen success
unparalleled by any publisher in the United States, more than
tripling our numbers. Editor-in-chief Stephen Lynch and his
editorial team deliver content that keeps our visitors informed and
entertained, and our Chief Digital Officer Remy Stern and his team
have built a nimble and innovative platform, which is now being
adapted across other News Corp properties.”
