THE Sunday Herald has again registered a near 20 per cent in sales between May last year and last month.
According to the ABCs, the title registered year-on-year sales – as measured by Average Net Circulation – in Scotland of 38,539 last month compared to 47,165 during May last year – a drop of 8,626, or 18.3 per cent.
Meanwhile, the year-on-year figures for Scotland’s two biggest-selling daily newspapers were both down: nine per cent for the Scottish Sun and 12.44 per cent for the Daily Record.
The figures were published on Friday. Only four newspapers saw their year-on-year sales rise in Scotland, from May last year: the Daily Star, the Daily Telegraph, the Scottish News of the World and the Sunday Telegraph.
