Australian readers turn their backs on print

Newspaper readership in Australia fell by 0.8% in the year to June, according to the latest official survey. Unsurprisingly, publishers attribute this continuing downward drift to readers switching from print to online news. Titles in Sydney and Melbourne lost readers, with the Sunday editions faring worst. Nor did a change of format help Brisbane's Courier-Mail. It became a compact in March, but lost readers on weekdays and Saturdays. The worst-performing newspaper was the Canberra Times, which lost 5.4% of its weekday readership and even more at weekends. (Via The Australian)
