MediaGuardian is just flashing the latest magazine circulation figures; amongst the headlines is a further chunky drop in the NME figures of 16.4%. Not clear yet if this year-on-year or quarter-on-quarter.
UPDATE: That's year-on-year.
Press Gazette says Q is down to 69,535 and now being outsold by Ben10.
Great Kenny Chesney spamming up here!
ReplyDeleteAnyway, although predictable (NME's target audience is now more likely to be on the Web than anywhere else), it's kind of a shame at the same time. Under Krissi Murrison's tutelage, it has tried, at least, to be a little more diverse in its scope and - gasp! - even a bit smarter in its discourse.
But there you go: more and more, this is the Internet age, and the NME should realize this.
