Americans flocked to Fox News Digital for the latest news and analysis during the news-heavy month of June to help it top all competitors in both multiplatform minutes and multiplatform views. Fox News Digital dominated multiplatform minutes, finishing with 3.1 billion to finish No. 1 among digital outlets including CNN, The New York Times, CBS News, The Washington Post, NBC News, Insider, USA Today and ABC News.
