Australian newspaper readership slumped in the September quarter compared to the same period last year, according to the latest survey figures.
By contrast, magazine readership held up, with more than half the titles surveyed recording increases, and overall magazine readership increasing by 1%.
While almost all newspaper titles posted losses, the worst figures were posted by the Australian Financial Review, which saw average weekday readership fall by 14.3% and Saturday readership down by 16.7%.
The best results were at the Sydney Daily Telegraph, where average Saturday readership rose by 2.5% year-on-year, and The West Australian lifted its weekday readership by 4.5%.
