In March 2025, 42 of the 50 most-visited U.S. news websites saw traffic increases from February, with one-third experiencing at least 10% growth, boosted by the longer month.
According to The PressGazette, The Atlantic surged over 40% month-on-month, driven by a March 24 exclusive revealing its editor was mistakenly added to a Trump administration group chat discussing Yemen military strikes. The site recorded 30.4 million visits, up 30% from March 2024.
Other strong month-on-month performers included Axios (32.3 million visits, +33%), CNBC (113.2 million, +30%), Newsweek (96.6 million, +25%), and Zero Hedge (26.3 million, +13%).
Sixty percent of the top 50 news sites grew year-on-year. Athlon Sports led with 37.1 million visits, a 693% jump from March 2024. India Times followed (26.8 million, +82%), ranking 42nd, reflecting the rise of Indian publishers. The Associated Press (128 million, +66%) was the third-fastest growing and the top performer among the top ten, despite losing White House access. Its site has thrived since a June 2023 relaunch.
