Just a Slight exaggeration, 2.3 million a week and an average of 3,218,867 last month.

They'll likely be collectors items in a few years time.

Wonder if they find space for this one.

Next time I need 3 year old statistics I'll give you a shout, OK?

Oh and its probably better to read the articles you post... "Market-leader The News of the World also lost sales, dropping 2.7% - but it still sold an average of 3,218,867 last month."........... That'll be "last month" three years ago....


But don't worry, someone will report me and it will all be OK... OK?

I was only trying to point out your exaggeration as I knew you would want confirmation, it wasn't even 8 million three years ago, I doubt it ever was. Maybe you can show us the link to 8 million sales a week?

I read today that the NOW has/had the highest circulation in the world

I know I will get slammed for this but is all this hacking stuff such a big deal for the ordinary person? We have had emotive stuff coming out every few hours, Milly Dowlers phone hacked, the mccanns, 7/7 victims (all wrong I know) but it is what newspapers do and why people buy them. Take the Dowler family, their lawyer is criticising the hacking but what about the Father who lied for a long time about his whereabouts that day thus wasting police time, was he any better

If newspapers didn't hack and pay for information we would have never known what a crooked bunch the MP's were, or that members of the royal family were willing to sell themselves. Would it be in the publics interest for newspapers to be censored and not pry?

Also what about the phone companies who earn billions, why aren't their lines made safer to hacking. If some sleazy PD can do it there must be hundreds more out there who can hack and sell the information.

1950 was the starting point

http://www.marketingweek.co.uk/secto...028236.article

1950 News of the World becomes the best selling newspaper in the world with weekly sales of over 8 million.

Nope, until someone shows me 3 year old statistics that pretty much prove only one thing... that they don't read their own links.
