There are other reasons for circulation plummeting, "eee by `eck when I were a lad:laugh:" , we would have to arrive at the paper shop to start our rounds at 6 am, to ensure the papers were delivered for people going to work, this is now no longer legal with younger workers, which means the chances of getting a paper before the majority of car based commuters leave is rather low.
The lack of smokers has probably hit sales as well, in days gone, I remember as a kid, whilst setting my round up,there was a regular customer base which were there ,every morning, and the paper was an extra to go with a packet of cigarettes.
I would be infuriated here, if my regular 8.30 papers arrived at that, now normal, time and I had to be at work then, nobody wants a morning paper in the evening.
But apart from all that, I sadly find I have started to become a headline reader, and this is not good for journalism. There must be thousands like myself.
