Regional ABCs: 90% of paid-for weeklies drop circulation

By Oliver Luft

Ninety per cent of paid-for weekly local and regional papers in the UK recorded year-on-year falls in circulation in the first-half of 2010, according to figures out today.

Data supplied by the Audit Bureau of Circulations reveals that just 35 of 345 paid-for titles accredited by the organisation avoided having their circulation decline in the first six months of the year.

The troubled state of the paid-for weekly newspaper market was highlighted by 57 titles suffering a double-digit year-on-year fall in circulation in the first-half of 2010.

The biggest fall in circulation was at the Ely Standard which fell 68.4 per cent to a weekly average of 6,010. The next largest was the Prestwich and Whitefield Guide, which dropped 21.2 per cent to a weekly average of 2,437.

Three weekly newspapers recorded double-digit increases in their circulation with the Folkestone Herald (Series) leading the way as it grew to a weekly average of 15,795 – an increase of 26 per cent year on year.

The East Kent Gazette (Series) recorded a 24.2 per cent increase year on year for an average weekly circulation of 14,500 during the first-half of 2010.

The only other paper to benefit from a double-digit circulation increase was the Leek Post & Times, which increased 12.5 per cent year on year to a weekly average circulation of 11,738.

Independent News & Media’s Belfast paper Sunday Life remained the biggest regional weekly paper in the UK with an average circulation of 64,125 in the first-half of the year.

Two titles, the Birmingham Post and the Reading Post, have recently changed frequency from dailies to weeklies so did not have comparable year-on-year figures.

Press Gazette has compiled three lists ordering the weekly papers by total circulation, alphabetically and year-on-year change. Use Ctrl and F on your keyboard to find the paper you are interested in.
