Latest Fas-Fax Report – Newspaper e-Editions on the Rise no comments
The ABC Fas-Fax report of newspaper circulation was out yesterday and Paid Content reports that while daily circulation was down by 8.75 percent compared to last year, the number of digital editions sold by the top newspapers rose significantly. Paid Content also has a table of the top 25 newspaper daily e-editions that compares 2009 and 2010 digital circulation figures.
Editor & Publisher reports that while ad revenue was still falling for many newspapers, it was at least falling at a slower pace. Circulation of p-editions also continues to fall but did not accelerate its slide and indeed the decline is somewhat less severe than last fall’s 10.6 percent year-over-year decline.
Definitely digital subscriptions on devices such as the iPad and ereaders are going up, but how much it will help to prop up sagging newspaper and magazine publishers it is still too early to tell.
