Meanwhile Newsquest announced it was pulling its titles out of ABC with effect from 1 April, and that future audits would be carried out by BPA. One factor may be that the region has a strong hyperlocal presence. This is the generation that is divorced from ‘boring’, ‘negative’ news that they don’t feel involves them, So, the industry’s first efforts at internet news was tragically poor. The officially-published BPA figures for Newsquest do not include a year-on-year comparison as this is the first time they have been audited by the new provider.
Apart from the Irish News, the best-performing daily titles in the ABC audit were the Paisley Daily Express, which saw its overall circulation drop 6pc, and the Dundee Courier and Manchester Evening News, both down 8pc.
I’ve worked in multiple industries and jobs, and have never encountered smarter, more intelligent, or fiercer people than I found in the local newspaper industry.
Its destruction is a tragedy for wider society that I don’t think the public yet fully appreciate.
The Daily Mail itself dropped 16.5 per cent, while the Guardian and Daily Mirror — owned by Reach — fell 18 per cent. . Sorry and all that but titles like JPI media will soon be re-named RIP Media. The Yorkshire Evening Post is now selling fewer copies daily than the Scarborough Evening News was when JP (as it was) took that weekly in 2012 (by about 3-400 fewer copies a day according to these figures).
Figures and insights about the advertising and media world. April 2014 to September 2014. }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk')); HoldtheFrontPage is a news and jobs website for journalists everywhere with a particular focus on the UK regional press. Have the rates dropped to mirror circulation, or are advertisers still paying similar rates to when papers sold ten times as many copies? As of April 2019, the tabloid newspaper The Sun had a circulation of almost 1.4 million newspapers in the United Kingdom (UK).
I doubt any of the big regional groups see printed newspapers continuing long term ( even short term in some cases) or in their forward plans so it must simply be a case of phasing them out either via a planned and assisted decline or by allowing them to be run into the ground losing sales until such time as costs outweigh the profitability of continuing ,which looking at some titles must be imminent. Most editors are sadly now “decline managers “…, It is all very sad , what else can one say. It used to be said that the Mail lagged behind the likes of Manchester and Liverpool titles because it has the Express and Star for competition. in the city and adjoining districts of South Gloucestershire and North Somerset where the total population approaches one million. How on earth does the Sentinel in little ole Stoke outsell the once mighty Birmingham Mail, with a million-plus population, by several thousand copies. The point about those responsible not being held to account is pertinent as some of those on whose watch this carnage has been allowed to happen (some might say they’ve actively encouraged by lack of investment or support for print while throwing everything at the elusive online dollar ) are still in the same positions recklessly carrying on unchecked and unhindered by those above and unquestioned by those below. js.src = 'https://connect.facebook.net/en_GB/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v3.2'; Papers still carry many adverts in print only. Today, it’s tragically poor. The Sun had laid claim to being the UK’s best-selling newspaper for more than 40 years.
Then off to pastures new as CEO of Carphone Warehouse or wherever, leaving nothing but scorches Earth in their wake.
The Leicester Mercury, Nottingham Post, Lancashire Telegraph and Cambridge News all saw their overall circulations drop by 20pc or more in the period January to June, although all four titles performed better when free copies and bulk sales were disregarded. Merging with the Norwich evening daily, going free or publishing online only must be the only options to save this title.
Earlier this year, ABC announced it would no longer be publishing a six-monthly report on circulation figures for regional titles, saying it wants to get figures for individual titles published within five days of submission rather than wait for a particular date before publishing them en masse. The ones that survive will be those that offer something noone else does. The next stage is to go weakly in print. @Taverham – printing off site and sub contracting will be saving them massive amounts of money. These latest web stats and yesterday’s shocking ABC figures confirm what we already know, while the dismantling and decimation of print continues the monetising of digital news remains a myth. Another might be that the linked Bristol Live site one typical day contained one story from Hull, along with two restaurants and a rum bar opening (at least these were local)..
