More bad November news for the “Dead tree press”.

More bad November news for the “Dead tree press”.

The MSM are preparing to launch a massive smear campaign against the British National Party.                                                 Nationalists will be delighted to know that every quality Sunday and Daily national newspaper (with the exception of the Daily Star and the Daily Star on Sunday) recorded a year-on-year drop in circulation in November – and The Guardian, The Observer, The Financial Times and The Times suffering sharp dips.

According to the latest figures from the Audit Bureau of Circulations, published today, the Financial Times had an average global circulation of 401,072 in November, a fall of 9.2 per cent on the same month last year.

The UK and Irish edition of the FT had an average circulation of 119,868 last month, down 16.34 per cent from the 143,269 it sold last November.

News International daily, The Times, had an average circulation of 563,262 last month – down 9.42 per cent on November last year.

Telegraph Media Group’s Daily Telegraph had an average circulation of 744,151 last month, a drop of 5.65 per cent year-on-year, while Independent News & Media’s Independent dropped to an average circulation of 186,557, a fall of 7.24 per cent year-on-year.

Guardian News & Media’s daily, The Guardian, recorded an average daily circulation of 305,240 in November, a drop of 14.83 per cent year-on-year.

The Guardian’s stablemate, The Observer, recorded a similarly large circulation fall. GN&M’s Sunday paper had a circulation of 372,669 last month, a year-on-year drop of 16.06 per cent in the month that executives at the publishing company announced a further 100 job losses and outlined plans for cuts at GN&M resulting in a slimmed-down version of the paper in the New Year.

A large part of the double-digit circulation fall of The Guardian and The Observer can be attributed to GN&M’s decision in August to cease distribution of bulks – copies readers can pick up free from hotels, airlines and gyms.

Month-on-month The Guardian’ circulation fell 2.13 per cent from the 311,878 it averaged in October. Month-on-month the circulation of The Observer rose 1.57 per cent.

Behind The Observer, the second biggest faller in the Sunday market was News & Media’s Independent on Sunday. It had an average weekly circulation of 156,517 in November, a drop of 5.75 per cent year-on-year.

The Sunday Telegraph averaged a weekly circulation of 577,201 in November, a drop of four per cent year-on-year, while News International’s Sunday Times sold an average of 1,171,457 each week last month, a year-on-year drop of 4.26 per cent.

Alarm bells must be ringing at Trinity Mirror Group following the release of the ABC figures for November.

The Daily Mirror dropped 10 per cent year on year to 1,260,019 as it felt the effects of being 25p more expensive than the 20p Daily Star, and Sun which is also on sale for 20p in much of the country.

The Star rose 15.3 per cent year on year to 823,476 and The Sun dropped 2.87 per cent to 2.958,502.

TMG’s nationals division made an operating profit of £38.2m in 2008/2009 – so Trinity Mirror may now be looking at siphoning some of that cash into the Daily Mirror’s marketing budget to stem the sales losses at a paper.

Daily Mail and General Trust said in a rider to the annual results last month that the Mail titles were ditching CD and DVD give-aways in favour of “a sustained direct marketing campaign to recruit more long term loyal purchasers”.

If November’s figures are anything to do by, it seemed to be doing the trick.

The Daily Mail was the top performing mid-market title, other than the Daily Star,dropping just 0.7 per cent year on year to 2,163,701.The Mail on Sunday also performed well in its market, dropping 4.16 per cent to 2,071,526.

Like The Sun, the News of the World also dropped below three million in November, falling 7.3 per cent to 2,932,366.

Clearly the MSM are paying the price for their anti-British hatred and biased editorial content.

Thanks to the internet, more and more people are refusing to accept the distorted version of the facts offered to them by newspapers and look elsewhere for information, including, but not exclusively the BNP’ website, other nationalist sites are out there. have a look at the right hand side of our front page.

Let’s hope that those rags go bankrupt one by one, and sooner rather than later.

    Excellent news. Boycott them into bankruptcy.

    "Let’s hope that those rags go bankrupt one by one, and sooner rather than later."
    I agree. For some people it's a bad habit though. It may take time to break the habit of buying a newspaper but it can be done. You can do it cold turkey or gradually (buy a newspaper every 2 days instead of every day etc).

  4. whistle says:

    Ever since I can remember,I have bought a paper daily,no more.I obtained a computer just over 2years ago,since then,I stopped buying papers daily,then only on Saturdays and if I went out.Now I no longer bother,after reading the news free on the net,but more so,reading the nationalist blogs and finding the truth. As the TV show says,'the truth is out there' you only have to look for it and when you do find it,isn't it great.

    Subscribe to the British National Party's 'Voice Of Freedom' newspaper instead => https://secure.bnp.org.uk/freedom.html

    I stopped buying newspapers several years ago. When I used to buy them, I read them avidly and then along came the internet which provided me with news from around the entire world. I then started to compare the way the news was reported in the msm, and just as importantly, what they failed to report. In other words, lying by omission. The BBC is a classic example of this. Now, I no longer see the need to scan the newspapers, simply because I can predict that they will mostly parrot the government line. In recent years, the standard of journalism has deteriorated to the point of laziness, with little effort made to uncover facts and publish them. Especially when the facts do not parallel their own pre-conceived ideas and beliefs. Global Warming, now morphed into Climate Change is a good example. I, for one, will not shed a single tear at the demise of the print media. They are the architects of their own extinction.

    All newspapers are available totally free at http://www.thebigproject.co.uk/news/…………….

    And they are going to start charging for internet news in the future lets keep the nationalist news free…

  8. kevmor46 says:

    i hope it happens with tv media like gmtv and the bbc.

  9. Donna says:

    I think people are now realising just how controlled the MSM is, and the BNP have helped the people to see this….

  10. Warspite says:

    The medias are all linked and have been since the late 1700's, they just tell the same stories differently or from a different point of view- this is how they are easily controlled. A bit of research does indeed confirm this. So, stop being a consumer for awhile and you will put things back to normal.

  11. rosegarden says:

    I don`t buy ANY newspapers, nor do I pay the tv tax anymore – I REFUSE to be brainwashed and treated like an idiot a moment longer……

    …..and I feel SO much better for it.

    • Harryboy says:

      My TV licence expired at the end of May last year. I sent the template letters to the BBC from the BNP website. Since then I have written a four page letter to the BBC asking why my money should have to pay for all the luxuries the executives at the BBC enjoy. The most compelling case for not paying the TV licence fee is that they dare not have any imam or muslim jokes on the BBC and anything regarding Allah is absolute taboo – so they are definitely biased. I have had eight letters and a visit from one of their 'enforcers' and since I have threatened to publish my letters on the website I haven't heard anything since. If they want a licence fee they should encrypt their programmes.

  12. What's a Marxist journalist to do? Continue vilifying the one party which represents the majority of the British population, and lose one's job because your paper has gone bust, because the British people are fed up of being told lies – or, tell the truth and get sacked by your even more Marxist boss anyway!
    Caught between a rock and a hard place! I love it!
    These fools don't seem to realise that the internet exists, and the public are fed up to the back teeth with being spoon fed non-stop anti-British propaganda…

  13. wytryert says:

    It's OK. Let them print there lies, Anybody who is worth their salt will come over to us anyway,
    & nobody who is already with us, is going "To Turncoat" on account of what they print….
    Again. A WIN , WIN for the BNP… & still the thick heads don't get it ? All the public really want IS THE TRUTH… Take Heart! For every socalled 'editor' to collaborate in such a deceitfull plan, Just shows how Scared they really are of US. The Little BNP getting bigger & stronger EVERY DAY…

  14. bodica says:

    So the BNP will be rescuing the circulation figures of the incompetent Marx Scream Media clowns.

    They'd better support us; as they are incapable of increasing sales by good journalism, they'll fold completely if they got their wish and pushed BNP out of business.

    More champagne socialists biting the capitalist hand that feeds them!

  15. john hurren says:

    Thank God and the BNP, British people are waking up. We are not going to be spoon fed by the liberal elite any more. We are an intelligent, tolerant people. But, once we realize we are under threat, we are like a roaring Lion; tenacious, ready and utterly ruthless.
    The MSM have pushed us too far. They have done evil by allowing truth to be substituted by lies in ordinary people. Even the word 'wicked' has been turned into 'good' by the media, and given to our children. ENOUGH!
    love 'n light
    Happy Christmas
    john hurren.

  16. Revisionist says:

    As I understand it, circulation figures are the actual sales, but multiplied up by a factor which is believed to reflect the extent to which the junk is passed to other people – family, friends, acquaintances. Maybe 3 or 4. The print-run figures therefore are far less than the quoted figures suggest; the figures are just another scam, just another set of lies. The garbage media a d TV are part of the obituary notice of the conventional white world. Let them die and be replaced by fearless honesty and investigation.

  17. granite_head says:

    Good riddance too bad rubbish, but that trusted brute, the BBC, is the head of the media monster, and this is where the axe of change must strike the hardest.

    Here is a current example of the BBC trying to control public opinion, with at least 19 people dead, the headline is,

    US declares state of emergency across the Midwest

    http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=114660&s...

    "snowfall totals reaching about 14 inches", " cuts to more than 10,000 homes and businesses".

    BUT, this news would endanger the Climate Gate narrative, so the BBC have eliminated this little news story from radio 4, no mention of this "State Of Emergency" on the cutting edge, flagship Today program.

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00pdjy7/Tod...

    Though to be fair, some rooting around on the BBC site does cover it, but more people will just click on the radio in the morning, rather than start rooting around the BBC's web site.

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/8430482...

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/8429618...

    "Holiday blizzards wreak havoc in central United States

    The Midwest storm comes as the East Coast recovers from record snowfall last weekend,."
    – Page last updated at 19:48 GMT, Friday, 25 December 2009.

    Coldest conditions in the UK for 20 years, and "record snowfall last weekend" in the USA, Climate Gate conspiracy finger waggers won't like this one bit, which could explain its omission from radio 4.
