Online viewership
The newspaper industry is having to make major readjustments to a digital future. Physical paper sales have been falling for years with consumers being able to gain access to news on a constant and instant level online. Some brands in the UK now see more than 150 million unique monthly visits online. The mobile is now the leading way individuals consume news in the UK for almost every major brand.
Journalists
Despite the fall in circulation volumes, the number of journalists in the UK has risen between 2011 and 2018. In fact, employment in journalism, newspaper and editor positions in the UK have seen a two-year increase between 2015 and 2017.
