Mail titles owner, the Daily Mail and General Trust, has reported revenue growth of 2 per cent year-on-year for the first quarter of 2019.

The group said Mail Online’s total revenues were up by an underlying 14 per cent year-on-year for the three months to the end of December 2018, with figures for the US-focused Daily Mail TV included.

The UK’s most-read news website also saw advertising revenues climb by an underlying 11 per cent on the same period last year.
