Press Gazette – Journalism Weekly: Interviews with Ashley Highfield and Sarah Sands, secrets of the mag ABC winners

By Dominic Ponsford

But we have managed to find a few in this week's Press Gazette – Journalism Weekly.

Amid magazine ABC figures which show print decline across most sectors, some titles are still growing their print sales. We talk to editors and publishers at Slimming World, The Oldie, MoneyWeek, Investors's Chronicle, Ideal Home and Women's Health about how they are bucking the trend.

Dailies are running at an average decline of 10.5 per cent while for weeklies print sales are going down by an average of 6.5 per cent. Price rises are largely to blame, as well as digital competition of course. At least for the regional press we have the silver lining of reporting huge digital audience growth at the same time.
