Circulation figures and publishing houses

Circulation figures are often used for magazine and newspaper distribution to show the number of copies that were distributed, its not only for the sale figures because some readers receive free copies.

Mojo-  85,149 -2.4% sold copies 84,560 (BAUER)

Top of the Pops - 78,352 -20.1% sold copies 78,352  (IMMEDIATE MEDIA COMPANY)

We love pop magazine - 50,505 - sold copies 50,505 - (EGMONT)

Kerrang - 40,203 -6.6% - sold copies 39,950 (BAUER)

After researching circulation figures on music magazines i have found out that there are less magazines circulating. This is because of the new technology which has been brought over the last few years. People can now go online onto various websites to access magazines and read articles. Furthermore it could also be because of the economy, magazines have overall increased in price so they would be to expensive to buy so instead they would download the magazine on laptops and various tablets such as ipads and kindles for free.
