July National Newspaper ABCs
The Sunday Telegraph recorded the highest year-on-year increase in both percentage and actual terms, with a July ABC of 856,598. July was also a good month for Associated Newspapers with all three titles once again recording increases.
The Sunday Sport was the only popular title to record a year-on-year increase, although its July circulation of 280,292 is still considerably lower than the peak it achieved in February.
