The top 50 UK publications on Facebook

As Facebook passes 1bn global unique users, Press Gazette has compiled a unique list revealing the top 50 UK publications on the website.

For the purposes of this list we have defined Facebook popularity according to the number of ‘likes’ on a publication’s own Facebook page. We have only included print titles which are based primarily in the UK, founded here or have separate UK Facebook accounts.

This table is correct as of Wednesday 24 October to the best of our knowledge. If you spot a publication that we have missed out, please email pged@pressgazette.co.uk.
