The Daily Mirror and Evening Standard continue to lead the tumble downwards in the March ABC figures.
The Mirror is down 9.7 per cent year-on-year, the

down 12.09 per cent to 346,265.

That makes for a combined circulation figure of 422,565 (compared with
393,887 a year ago).

At the Daily Mirror a small month-on-month
circulation rise (0.06 per cent) suggests that editor Richard Wallace
may be putting the brakes on its circulation dive.
