Newspaper Circulation in South Africa
Change in core circulation of 43 ABC registered newspaper titles between 3rd
Quarter of 2014 and 3rd Quarter of 2015
The chart below documents the year-on-year change in core circulation of
South Africa's daily, weekly, and weekend titles from the 3rd Quarter of
2014 and the 3rd Quarter 2015 - as reported to the Audit Bureau of
Circulations (ABC).
Core circulation is defined here as the sales at over 50% of cover price
falling under the categories of Copy Sales, Individual and Business
Subscripts and PDF Replica (electronic copy sales). It thus excludes the
categories of Bulk, Print Media in Education, Travel & Commercial
Subscriptions, and sales under 50% of cover price.
