Economic Developments in Print

Activity one
Part 1:
They have said that there are newspapers that have cost more than £1 like the Daily Telegraph and same as the Independent while the financial times retail at £2 but sell the newspaper at 90p which they lose out on £1.10p.
Part 2:
That the prices of the newspapers have risen by 20p from £1-£1.20p on Monday-Friday papers and the weekend papers have also risen by 20p from £1.90-£2.10p. They also raised the price because of the rivals the newspaper has which are the Daily Telegraph, Times and The Independent which are cost at £1 but on saturdays they were priced at DT- 90p, T-£1.50p and TI- £1.60p which are high priced which they would need to put their prices higher so they will have a chance to make profit and get their newspaper publicity.

Activity two
Circulation is a newspaper circulation is the number of copies it distributes on an average day.

Readership is the readers of a newspaper, magazine, or book regarded collectively: "it has a readership of 100 million".

That the guardian is having a circulation of 230,541 on an average daily circulation which is good because that is a lot of copies which at the price of the guardian is quite good because it has raised up to £1.20p on the week days and on the weekend it has risen to £2.10p which is a goos pricing for the newspapers to be sold. On the week days they are making £1,383,246 and on the weekend they make £968,272.20p so if we can see they make a nice amount on money from an estimate with the statistics of the daily circulation and the prices of the newspapers. Its a broadsheet and not a tabloid because of the prices.


Activity three
The daily circulation has increased from 2010 to 2012 because the competition has got much harder to sell newspapers.
1. I believe that this is good because they are making more sales with the amount of daily circulations being produced.
2. The other reason is that because of the rivals they have made the increase in daily circulation.
