Statistics show The Sun ended February with an average print sale of 1,941,000 a day – some 9% down on the same six-month period last year. So if that rate of decline continues on trend, it will be selling just over 1.2m in five years and around 760,000 in 10. The Mirror had a 922,000 record in February and a percentage decline of 7%. Make that 640,000 in five years and 450,000 in 10. The Mail – with Paul Dacre retired at last, I guess – is sliding currently by only 5%. That gives it 1,280,000 or so in five years and a 990,000-ish figure in 10: add a few bulks to keep the million. Print may have less and less economic clout, but it will still have some headline salience as the ballot boxes open Upmarket a bit, the Telegraph has a 493,000 print figure and a 9% decline rate: so just over 307,000 in 2020 and 190,000 in 2025. The Guardian, on 179,000, posts a decline of 10%: so 105,000 in five years and 62,000 in 10. The Independent, at 61,103 now, can anticipate 38,000 and then 22,000. And the Times, with only a 2% decline record, will see its current 393,000 head towards 320,000 over a decade.
Statistics prove the decline of the newspaper industry is still taking place. Sales and figures for news cooperation's are down and I believe it will continue until traditional news is banished overall.
