    The normal assortment of data is on the site now (regional’s, for the few that still participate in the ABC will follow shortly).

    Some of the laggards in this "fast paced industry" finally publish ABC data!

    the irish daily star has really had a dramatic shift. I seem to remember at one stage it had peaked at over 107k. thats a 40% drop since then, which must be worrying.

    Worse: 110,087 in 2003. So we're talking a serious drop.

    Reasons:
    recession
    DS core readership would have been akin to the trades (no stereotype there intended) which work has dried up.
    price €1.40 as opposed to €1.00 for the other two.
    Herald moving to the morning has to hurt (see evening newspaper article to see that failed experiment)

    That's a horrendous fall for the IT, you'd have to think it's not long for this world unless there's an Irish Jeff Bezos out there...

    Dreadful sales numbers as the end of printed news comes closer.

    I bet the medium-term future for the IT is a rescue by some rich person. If the SBP can get rich people to invest, then the IT can also.

    The Irish Times Trust has the takeover thing tied up. I've looked at a few sites reporting the figures and I can't see the fascination on the IT dropping 9% - its not the worst performing of the papers - but the 'others' are only tabloids! It's very media bitch stuff.
    The real item would be that, in the height of publicity blur, the Indo in June, whilst reporting the Anglo tapes, actually dropped 4k copies on the previous month!
    All that publicity simply drove punters online for the free edition.

    Yeah, the regionals and tabloid ABC numbers get very little attention, while the broadsheets get all the attention.

    The Irish Times newspaper 9% decline is less that FT declines in recent years which have been circa. 15%.
