Well these figures should be sending shock waves across the whole industry and not just in print!
As stated online has a mixed bag with some doing well and others not looking as strong.
Mind you knowing that these publishers has spent millions driving their online portfolios is it actually that good? Lets be honest there certainly is not the “mother load” that many publishers had hoped for. Yes you have seen “growth” in users but lets look at the real revenue gains to off set the major in print revenue decline.

To see a dying city like Stoke on Trent overtake a one million population city like Birmingham in newspaper sales in quite staggering!

Surely ‘dead cities’ are the perfect demographic for regional dailies?
Given a choice between 42p Mail or the 33p Sentinel – surely Dyson should decide.
