Decline in Greek Newspaper Circulation Continues
The decline in Greek newspaper circulation during 2013 continues. The data concerning political newspapers showed a very sharp drop in the circulation of daily newspapers. More specifically, Greece’s afternoon newspapers which were selling an average of 100,000 copies have faced a 24 percent decrease in circulation, while the morning papers usually sell only 8,000 copies. There has been a smaller but nonetheless significant decline of 7 percent on Sunday newspapers which along with other weekly papers sell a total of about 750,000 copies. Sunday papers alone sell roughly 644,000 copies and the remaining weekly papers sell about 101,000. This undoubtedly reduces the influence press has on the general public.
