Electronic media becomes ever more popular

www.elmundo.es has over 5 million unique monthly visitors

El Mundo, as well as a very popular printed paper, is Spain's most widely read electronic news service and first crossed the 5 million mark in October 2004, with 5.4 million in November. The number is increasing rapidly, reaching 6,289,783 in January. Other papers lag, with dailies specialising in sport having most success: www.marca.com almost reached 3 million and www.as.com is now above a million, with the second general daily www.abc.es close behind it. 'Circulation' stats are the speciality of www.ojd.es which can be read in English. From all the surveys of electronic media, it is clear that they are by far the most read among office workers.
