The readership of *Il Sole 24 Ore* is growing: up 4.5% in the first Audicom Print 2026 survey

Among the most popular channels with online audiences is the Italia&Mondo channel, which attracts over 5 million unique monthly visitors, thanks in part to its timely coverage of news and current affairs, as well as Finanza, Economy and Health, with the 24 ORE Salute hub aimed at both companies and institutions in the sector and at members of the public; since its launch, it has established itself as a key traffic driver both in terms of volume and, together with Culture, Fashion, Travel and Food, from a qualitative perspective, helping to strengthen the female segment of the site’s audience, which is now on a par with the male segment (50.2% versus 49.8%).

The newspaper’s growing readership is also confirmed by the increase in the number of followers of *Il Sole 24 Ore* on its social media profiles, with over 6.3 million across all channels and, with over 1.4 million followers, the undisputed leader on LinkedIn amongst Italian publishers, and amongst the leading publishing groups at European level as well. These figures are complemented by the total social media audience of the Il Sole 24 ORE Group, with over 10 million followers across the social media channels of Radio 24, Radiocor, IlSole24OreTV, HTSI, 24 ORE Eventi, 24 ORE Cultura, Il Sole 24 ORE Professionale and L’Esperto Risponde.

There is therefore satisfaction with the figures achieved by *Il Sole 24 Ore* in the Audicom survey, figures which complement the record audience figures achieved in the first quarter of 2026 by Radio 24, with 2,685,000 listeners on an average day, and reflect the appreciation of readers, users and listeners for the ever-expanding and integrated ecosystem of initiatives by the Il Sole 24 ORE Group – ranging from editorial projects to events such as Telefisco and the Festival dell’Economia – which was further strengthened in the first few weeks of June by a series of major launches: the new sole24ore.com homepage, the new specialist daily newspapers *Norme & Tributi Plus* and *IlSole24OreTv* (now on channel 63 of digital terrestrial television), and the *24 ORE NextMed* platform dedicated to the wider Mediterranean region.

Federico Silvestri, Chief Executive Officer of the Il Sole 24 ORE Group, Federico Silvestri, commented: “These results confirm that Il Sole 24 ORE is becoming an increasingly strong central pillar of our ecosystem, underpinning the Group’s development strategy, which is founded on the authority of our information, full cross-platform integration and design innovation capable of generating synergies and enhancing the effectiveness of all the Group’s media channels”.

Tamburini, Direttore Il Sole 24 Ore

Fabio Tamburini , Director of *Il Sole 24 Ore*, Radio 24 and Radiocor , adds: “The results of the Audicom survey confirm that, in a landscape increasingly cluttered with information and fake news, readers continue to reward authoritative, competent and rigorous journalism. This is recognition of the daily work carried out by the editorial teams at *Il Sole 24 Ore* and across the entire Group, and a renewed trust that is also confirmed by the Reuters Institute’s Digital News Report, which for nine consecutive years has recognised us as the most trustworthy newspaper in Italia.”
