Michael_W Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 A kid at work used to buy the Daily Sport, he was the only person who didn't mind going into the paper shop and doing so, yet despite it's obvious poor sales it was the most read (I mean looked at) newspaper on the company ! The Sun, The Mirror, The Star are all popular workplace newspapers, generally read at break times or on the lav, most other papers are for people with too much time on their hands ...... IMHO ! I just skim through a selection of articles online now including the local Sheffield Star, have done for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mecky Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 The only news in newspapers is yesterday's news and is therefore not news. Newspapers only peddle opinions on yesterday's news to try and influence public opinion for whatever end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxman Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 I get The Observer on a Sunday. I read parts of it whilst wearing my sandals and eating my muesli on a Sunday then take other bits down to the pub on a Tuesday. It used to be a real treat to get a Sunday paper, put the coffee on and have a leisurely Sunday in bed. Bloody computers have put an end to that, I just have to see what SF'ers are foaming at the mouth about this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wednesday1 Posted July 14, 2012 Author Share Posted July 14, 2012 The Independant did launch i though 18 months ago, targeted at a subset of their readership, which clocked up an impressive 61% growth in the same period. Overall across the two papers, they've gained 12,752 readers in the last 12 months. Yes the figs obviously do not take into consideration the online versions of the titles, who's increases mirror the decline in their newpsapers, see figs below, from Nov 2011. I think only The Times has a paywall, and is the quality paper with the least decline in readership, sureky seems only a matter of time before other titles follow their lead. guardian.co.uk Daily average browsers: 3,275,624 Month-on-month change: +12.23%% Year-on-year change: +57.43% Monthly browsers: N/A Mail Online Daily average browsers: 4,563,492 Month-on-month change: +12.31% Year-on-year change: +65.41% Monthly browsers: 78,994,874 Month-on-month: +16.85% Telegraph.co.uk Daily average browsers: 2,292,052 Month-on-month change: +14.94% Year-on-year change: +33.07% Monthly browsers: 45,310,524 Month-on-month change: +19.31% Mirror Group Digital Daily average browsers: 710,695 Month-on-month change: +17.22% Year-on-year change: +34.06% Monthly browsers: 15,796,147 Month-on-month change: +25.53% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wednesday1 Posted July 14, 2012 Author Share Posted July 14, 2012 The Guardian seems to be determined to put itself out of business. Why only The Guardian? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I buy The Guardian and Observer at wkds too as don't have time to read 'em in the week. Sometimes buy The Star and Sheffield Telegraph, and always buy the Green 'Un in the football season.
