I think you will find that circulation has fallen for the vast majority of papers and magazines.LN'S, like most other publications, now have a big on-line following.Like lots of business's, they have had to change their working model to survive. They no longer soley rely on people picking up a printed version via their newsagent, or the paperboy delivering via the letterbox.Continuing to use an out dated business model, rather than adapting to suit the current requirements of their target audience, would have been commercial suicide.The digital age has brought far more opportunities for the media. Printed "Circulation" may be down, but earning potential has increased dramatically.A lot of it is about getting the right people in the right jobs. Publications (on-line or in print), now have to sell their product more than ever before. Gone have the days of order takers. Its the age of the sales professionals. They can't just produce a paper in the hope people will buy it. It has to be continually worked at.If they fail to do this, it's no different from a football club just opening their gates and hoping (or praying) that people will come through the turnstiles.
