News Corp's publishing arm to focus on losses at Times and Sunday Times

Losses at the Times and Sunday Times at an estimated £1m a week, is to be News corporations priority for News Corporation's potential separated publishing division – although any efforts to tighten integration between the two titles is likely to require a loosening of the undertakings given by Rupert Murdoch when he bought the newspapers.

My Opinion

I would say this shows that there is a decline in newspapers , but I don't think newspapers will die out any time soon, if ever. I think that this new and digital craze is not going to totally wipe out newspapers as digital software is not always reliable. Its likely for newspapers with a big name like Sunday Times and The Times to decline as the new and digital media revolution is happening, the smart idea would be to adapt to the change , but not to totally get rid of what is tradition and also precise and reliable news.

This article discusses the statistics of Guardian, Sunday Times and others about their losses. The Sunday Times has been giving free newspapers in order to help the circulation of sales. They did this because that have fallen by 1% from November and re below the sales mark

My Opinion

That is peak , But as I said before its likely for these big name newspapers to decline because of new and digital media... They trying to save a lost battle. simple.

UK newspaper advertising facing bleak forecast for 2013

What is it about?

The ailing UK newspaper advertising market is set to get even worse next year with national titles forecast to face an almost 9% decline that will see display revenue fall below £1bn for the first time. The market is set to get worse in 2013

My opinion

What I don't understand about these newspapers is why are they trying?. THEIR AUDIENCE ARE NOW THE NEWS GIVERS/FEEDER !! WHATEVER!! . Like , we as people find out news instantly on social media sites and then newspapers delivers news a whole day after which is too late, especially with technology we live with nowadays . What I respect about some newspapers such as The Times etc is that it delivers news stories with full detail and information and we know its reliable and easy to believe.

This is interesting I suppose. Dont really have an opinion on this one..
