Daily Record sales crash to under 50,000

despite every hun project/loan signing being on their way to GOAT status, the record is the media for wee teams like their huns, hopefully it’ll go online only and save some trees in the process


Print sales of the Daily Record have dropped below the significantly important figure of 50,000.

During May as Celtic won two Glasgow Derbies and added two more trophies print sales dropped by 4% to an average of 49,673

If a few thousand of the Celtic fans who buy it would just break the habit…

…. that rag would be gone overnight.

 

LOL.

 

Before he died 7 years ago my Da' would buy it every day, including the Sunday Mason. I'd often ask: Da' how can pay money for that Hun rag? Still kept the RIP RFC copy though.

Honest question: does anyone under 50 still buy print news media? I'll occasionally pick up a Metro if there's any left if I'm getting a train but it's at least a freebie.

 

Since we don't get scottish newspapers what is the deal with the Record are they conservative or do they just support the scum

 

Both

 

I’ve read about this .. my local coop on a Sunday morning quite a few people cue and have papers … some people don’t trust the internet media because the * that get spouted … I know ironic as media empires can be the same ….. just have to look at all the false adevertising on Facebook and the scamming on market place to see why old school media is still alive generally speaking daily record took a stance during the referendum whilst the suns Scottish side mostly stayed neautral/ no doubt the English version would have said differently …. Ever since then the daily record readership been falling rapidly

I'm genuinely amazed 50k people still buy the record or any tabloid. I don't think I know anyone other than my parents who buy newspapers and that's because I don't really know anyone under 70 besides my parents! Spending over 350 quid a year on tabloids that tell you nothing you cannot learn for free the day before you read it makes no sense. It is an industry that will shrink to almost nothing in the next couple of decades.

Right wing tabloids will start losing more money but may be proper up by rich backers using them as propaganda. And I sort of understand broadsheet still existing. You are buying a decent level of journalism and opinions and it puts in the morning for bored retired people. But most '*'s and bingo' rags will die out soon.

 

Is that a Record?

 

Newspaper sales for me will largely be propped up by older people. Probably ones who are living alone. Lack company etc. my mum is in that boat. Buys the record, the star and the sun religiously. She knows they are filled with * but they simply are ‘something to pass a bit of time with’

 

I was reading an article on a different site when headline below popped up, FFS I've only higher English but I could write much, much better than that rags efforts, no wonder it's failing


'Wanyama suffers disastrous Dunfermline disaster'

Jesus wept or he would if he saw that imaginative headline
