Tabloids are biggest losers in circulation again

The Sun on Sunday is the  biggest loser. 6% of its readers stopped
buying it in December. It was started with a circulation of 3,2 million
in 2011. Meantime the circulation is down to 1,877 739. The decline
of the print media is not to stop.

The daily edition of the Sun also went down considerably with 3,66%
in December and which is thus the biggest loser.

experienced in dictatorships. The want a law passed that enables them

The Irish media have, by and large, their long list of sins. Sins that helped
to bring the economic problems about Ireland is in now.
Since the outbreak of the crisis, they banked on "bad news are good news",
are great in wailing, whining, ranting, while at the same time carrying on
partying and minding "life style" issues just like the French aristocracy before
the Revolution. The certainly aren't business papers that can be taken
serious. A serious media crisis would not be a problem, rather solve a
lot of current problems.

Update: The Irish Times has meantime reacted and declared that links to
articles in the Irish Times would be tolerated.
