Can newspapers survive the internet age AND economic downturn?
In this day and age, how many of you still buy a daily newspaper in physical form?
I've just seen the ABCs, the circulation figures of UK national titles, and without exception every daily's sales are down both month-on-month and year-on-year.
The only paper with even remotely respectable performance is the Daily Star - down just 0.1% last month, but that was achieved by a 50% price reduction which was unsustainable and ended recently.
Given that most papers have decent online versions nowadays, coupled with the availability of news from a multitude of other sources, is there any reason to still buy the physical copy?
For anybody interested, there's a summary of the sales figures here. It makes pretty depressing reading if you work at a newspaper!
