The 'Decline in Subscription' Option

Readily available free news online

has hurt both newspapers and digital

subscriptions in 2016, with the recent

ASX's audit figures showing mostly

decline for news organisations.

The Age's Monday - Friday digital 

subscriptions came in at 125, 038,

a 8, 458 decline from last year. While

their weekday print circulation dropped

to 96, 120, totalling in 8250 less than 

2015

The Australian's weekday circulation

was down by 2.10% from last year, at a 

total of 101, 980. It exactly doubled

the Australian Financial Review.

The Herald Sun's digital subscriptions jumped to 68,823, totalling 1,957 more

than 2015. While their weekday print

circulation dropped from 42, 156 in

2015, to 331, 715 in 2016. Their total

in 2010 exceeded 509, 000

But while it shows that subscriptions are down for newspapers in Australia, overseas publications are soaring. The New York Times has a total of 2.5 million digital and print subscribers. They are now making more money in paid subscriptions than they are from their advertisers.
