Newspaper sales decline in first half of 2016
This article looks at the statistics of the decline in the newspaper industry in Ireland. It's not so different to anywhere else and like everywhere else it is seeing declines along with some anomalies.
- Print circulation of the Irish times is down 5.5% year on year
- the growth in digital editions sales (at 103%) meant that the Irish times grew 1% year on year
- The company is currently behind a paywall
- papers on sunday has fell by an average of 6% across all companies, even those owned by Rupert Murdoch.
This will continue to happen at probably even larger rates but eventually it will slow down but that's maybe because of other reasons and not to do with the rise of digital media and maybe quality of work and so on.
