Reading the Nation: The 7 days to Sunday 16th of May

Thanks to our reach of over 99% of the UK’s online population, Ozone’s single user view of content consumption provides unrivalled insights to the stories that matter to our readers all across the UK.

As such, we bring you Reading the Nation with The Ozone Project, a new weekly insight-driven overview into the content and topics that are catching light among our highly attentive, frequently returning readers.

This week's Reading the Nation: the 7 days to 16th May focuses on the performance of our Food & Drink content, as on Monday 17th May the hospitality sector finally opens up to indoor eating and drinking.

In the 7 days to Sunday 16th May we saw:

  • Food & Drink content page views increase +7% week on week to 11.2m, with articles about restaurant openings, ranging from family-focused eateries to fast food outlets, all driving engagement

  • Page views growth of +28% on Sunday 16th May vs. the prior day. The 2.0m Food & Drink page views seen on that day was 25% higher than that week’s 7 day average

  • Events & Attractions page views grew +1.4% week on week, with 6.1m Bars & Restaurants page views total was the highest area of engagement
