ABC circulation figures

POS SOFTWARE

The latest circulation figures from the ABC are now the OCT-Dec 2012 figures.

Most worrying is that newspaper circulations have continued to decline, and the rate of decline is still accelerating. Currently, it is 6.5% down on the same quarter Oct-Dec 2011.

Looking at the figures, much but not all of the decline is in Sunday papers, Fairfax (who must be very worried about these figures) and NSW.

It is also clear that the number of major newspapers in each region is not declining as much as the number of minor newspapers. This shows that the trend for one newspaper town is growing.
