The figures show the print-online relationship is more complicated than the prophets of digital revolution assume

The Latest ABC print circulation returns.
The Telegraph, the Guardian and many of the rest are down overall between 8% and 10% year-on-year:
but their websites – with the Daily Mail breaking 7 million unique browsers a day and other rises jostling behind – go soaring ever higher.

One is the magazine world, both UK and in the US.
It ought to be collapsing, wrecked by the move to the tablets, which fit existing magazine page sizes for the transition

But, in fact, the rate of decline in magazine purchasing is relatively small, with subscriptions holding up staunchly and advertising remarkably solid

Teenage lifestyle magazines were up 54% in 12 months, children's pre-school mags had an 11.9% rise, and women's slimming titles showed a 10% jump.


Already 360 US papers – including most of the biggest and best – have built paywalls around their products
The new fashion is erecting slightly porous paywalls, on the New York Times model – and the Washington Post may be coming to the same conclusion.

Donald Graham, the supreme boss at the Post, gives an interesting hint why it's taken so long to get a paywall. Washington Post is only available around DC, he points out, while the New York Times covers the country from numerous satellite print sites, which are, counter-intuitively, one reason for its paywall recruitment success.


The latest National Readership Survey figures and you'll find 2,493,000 people aged between 15 and 35 following the Sun, 1,039,000 reading the Mirror, and 354,000 and 330,000 Guardian and Times followers respectively. Even the Telegraph manages 188,000 voices of youth.

  1. Most dating sites that I have tried have been quite disappointing. They are ok for a laugh but not if you really are looking for something. So I searched for dating website for real relationship and I found this globogirls.com and it was really good, it is a good way to see what is out there. There are a lot of different people in different countries, but some good ones too. The good thing about it is that it's totally secure because they have the feature of video chatting with these girls so you'll not share your personal contacts unless you're 100% sure , One thing that I really liked was the tips on how to avoid scam and fraud.
