Publisher aims to continue 2013's 50% growth to hit point at which website's income would exceed newspapers' declineMail Online has set a target of making more than £60m in revenues in 2014, with executives saying it is close to more than offsetting revenue declines at the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday.The Daily Mail website, which on Thursday reported £41m in revenue for the year to 30 September in Daily Mail & General Trust's annual results, will need to maintain growth of 50% to hit the target in 2014."Maybe this is the year we see growth in Mail Online exceed the decline in Mail newspapers," said the DMGT finance director, Stephen Daintith."We are getting close now, last year [2012] the gap was 3% [decline], this year 2%.
