Something a little unusual happened in the UK’s newspaper market last in March: a bout of month on month increases in circulations.

They say no news is good news, so the majority of national newspapers can probably breathe a sigh of relief as the market remained fairly flat in February.

Trinity Mirror lost almost 630,000 average daily browsers.

The UK’s desktop-using online populations remained steady at just under 45.8 million people in January 2016.

Magazines are proof that print is still very much in demand, with the latest NRS results for the January – December 2015 period pointing to a loyal, inky-fingered audience.

Just three out of the 13 recorded newspaper brands currently have more readers in print than any other medium – with the decision to close the Independent’s print operations earlier this month looking to be a justifiable move.

All online news sites recorded a surge in web traffic in January, with Richard Desmond’s dailystar.co.uk seeing its audience increase by more than half.

Johnston Press will be pleased that its latest acquisition i has seen period on period growth.

The July to December period was a bit of a damp squib for Home Interest magazines, with just two titles seeing small boosts in circulation over the period.

Forever Sports has again reported an impressive set of circulation figures for the men’s lifestyle market, while Men’s Fitness is hit hard.
