The numbers page: How national newspapers fare on Pinterest

By Press Gazette

Press Gazette reported a study last week which compared national newspapers' use of the social networking site Pinterest.

The Searchmetrics study found that The Guardian has the most followers but Mail Online has received by far the highest number of ‘pins’.

It found links to web pages from Mail Online have been shared, or ‘pinned’, the most (1,963,999), followed by the Telegraph.co.uk (429,137). Guardian.co.uk was in third place with a total of 329,720 pins.

Here's a visualisation of the results:
