Politico has seen a big increase in readers of its energy coverage in the wake of the U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran, reports Charlotte Tobitt of Press Gazette.

Tobitt reports, “Politico told Press Gazette that March was its highest single month for energy and environment consumer page views since at least January 2022, the furthest back it can compare its internal data.

“It said page views to its energy section were up 142% in Q1 compared to the same period last year.

“Politico also said the reach of B2B subscriber product Politico Pro Energy, defined as site page views and email opens combined, was up 115% this year so far compared to the same period last year.

“And it said March, the first full month of the Iran war, saw Politico Pro Energy’s reach increase 10% compared to February.”
