OPINION: September Newspaper ABCs

Trinity Mirror continue to dominate the Sunday newspapers market following the demise of the News of the World in July.

Average sales of the Sunday Mirror are up 66.7% year on year, while the People – another title published by Trinity Mirror – is up 61.6%

Meanwhile the Mail on Sunday has dropped 6.1% on the previous month, showing that perhaps Associated aren’t as well placed to pick up former NotW readers as many thought.

On the dailies market the FT was the only one to see an increase of circulation as the fall in newspaper sales overall continues.
