UK newspaper the Daily Mail has topped the list of the world’s most-read online newspapers according to statistics released by tracking service Comscore.

Figures from December 2011 shows that Mail Online reached 45.3 million people, overtaking nearest competitor The New York Times which reached 44.8 million.

Martin Clarke, editor of Mail Online, said the success of the newspaper on the web is all down to providing content that people want to read. He said that the site offers its content in an ‘entertaining, engaging way with clear, concise, straightforward copy and lots of good pictures.’

However, the New York Times have disputed the figures, saying they included traffic from the Mail’s personal finance site: “It’s a roll-up of their properties. We remain the number one newspaper site in the world.”
