I got these figures from their website but it doesnt say whether these are the new figures or not. I have included a couple of local ones for comparasons. (Monday-Sat averages where dailies).

94,095 BT
84,082 Sunday Life
83,544 Derry Journal
66,963 Sunday World
48,405 Irish News
29,103 Newsletter
11,420 Larne Times
10,467 Daily Ireland

That's wierd - the Irish News circulation has actually climbed since the launch of Daily Ireland.

OK I have now checked the dates for these figues I posted. They are are:

Jan-May 2005 Daily Ireland
Jan-July 2005 all other titles

For some reason the figures (on the ABC site) for Daily Ireland are for a shorter and earlier period, ending in May.

How many people are reading The County Down Spectator?

How many people are reading The County Down Spectator?

Answer: 11,671*

(This figure is the average for the year 2004, the most recent data given on the ABC site. You can look these up yourself - go to "Paid Regional Newspapers" then choose "Northern Ireland" from the menu).

Slug.

Thanks.

I have a feeling that the reason why the Derry Journal has such high circulation figures is because people enjoy spotting the enormous volume of spelling mistakes and bad grammar! ;-)

And before all you pseudo republicans get on your high horse, I’m from Derry myself and thus enjoy at a good chuckle at the rag (for all the wrong reasons)!

"and thus enjoy at a good chuckle at the rag"

And myself, as you can see! *foiled again Foggy!*

Sunday World figures are good news, it shows the UDA thuggery [boycott] has had the reverse effect.

regards to all

Foggy,

Why would 'pseudo-republicans' be complaining about your comments about the Derry Journal? unless of course you are referring to the SDLP, as the Journal has been more or less a SDLP party newsheet for decades.

This appeared in the Tele today, which might be of interest.

I'm afraid not it just shows a growing intests in t+a and "celebrity" gossip. The circulation figures for the SW are also up in this this country.

The Sunday World has every right to be sold in shops.

The worrying thing is that people actually buy it

Its probably indicitive of our society that people want to read about the sordid sex exploits of some nobody or want to trawl through the sex adverts on the back pages.

Surely any responsible adult would not bring such filth into their home.

Do females buy this paper

Latest ABC figures are just out for Daily Ireland, their circulation falls to 10,017, including an increased number of free distribution copies.

Got to agree with Silver on this one.

Its the 21st century and we have a paper which devotes 2 pages too sex adverts.

With an ever increasing number of attacks and rapes within this society, should people be supporting a rag which uses women as a tool to make money.

I suppose tomorrows headlines will be all about Jim Gray's gay sex exploits.

Get a life not a rag.

Interesting for Daily Ireland actively purchased figures are even lower at 8,762. Ouch!
