Fighting for quality news media in the digital age.

ABCs: Circulations of just two nationals increase y-o-y

By Press Gazette

Just two national newspapers record a year-on-year increase in their circulations last month, according to figures released today by the Audit Bureau of Circulations.

The Independent on Sunday recorded a year-on-year rise in circulation of 1.88 per cent to a weekly average of 168,151 in April, while the Daily Star saw its circulation rise by an almost negligible 0.05 per cent to a daily average of 823,025.

In stark contrast, The Observer, The Sunday Telegraph, The Guardian, The Times and The Daily Telegraph all recorded double digit declines in circulation year-on-year.
