The New Zealand Herald's paper and online readership has grown to nearly 1.3 million Kiwis a week.
The Herald website saw unique browsers jump by 32 per cent in the period and the Herald mobile site was up 403 per cent for monthly unique browsers.
As well, over the year the Herald's launch of apps for iPad, iPhone and Android had seen around 100,000 downloads.
Despite the tough economic climate, the Audit Bureau of Circulation figures show the paper sold an average of 170,704 copies a day in the year to June 30, up by 181, and was the only metropolitan daily paper to increase sales in that period.
In the separate Nielsen readership survey, the print edition's readership was 586,000, down slightly on a year ago, but twice as high as any other metro paper.
