The Independent, Financial Times and The Guardian saw the biggest year-on-year circulation drops last month, according to the latest figures from ABC.
The Independent was down 28 per cent to 127,873 – largely as a result of its decision to transfer a significant volume of bulk copies from The Independent to its cut-price sister title i, while the FT was adown 15.8 per cent to 337,239.
The Guardian, which increased its cover price to £1.20 on 18 September, was down 16.3 per cent year on year to an average daily sale of 226,473.
The Daily Telegraph, which increased its cover price to £1.20 on 10 November, fell 8.9 per cent to 594,644.
The Times, which still costs £1, was down 11.4 per cent to 413,233.
The Daily Mail, Herald, i and Racing Post were the only national dailies to increase circulation month on month.
