Less than a year ago, the competition for the title of the UK’s leading newspaper website was a two horse race. Only Guardian Unlimited and Telegraph.co.uk (owned by the same parent company as The Business) had user figures that were worth measuring, with the websites of the Daily Mail, The Sun and The Times (and their Sunday sister papers) being relegated to the status of also-runs.
