National newspapers may be losing sales month after month, but a Scottish media blog reveals that the Scottish editions of five titles have enjoyed year-on-year circulation rises.
The ABC figures for September this year compared to September 2009 reveal increases for the Scottish Daily Express (up 4.2%), the Scottish Daily Mail (+1.2%), The Independent (+7.8%), the Scottish Mail on Sunday (+3.1%) and the Financial Times (+0.12%).
The overall numbers are small, of course. The FT's increase represents just four extra copies, for example, and The Independent's big surge amounts to 591 extras.
But it is heartening to see any increases anywhere nowadays.
