South Wales Evening Post – Wales best Selling newspaper

We all know that newspaper circulation for daily papers is falling and the Western Mail claims to be Wales’s National newspaper is misguided at best, but the figures from January to June 2012 prove it and despite the South Wales Evening Post strong showing, it along with all papers saw a decline in circulation in the first 6 months of 2012.

The South Wales Evening Post’s average daily circulation was 36,623, more than 6 thousand more than its nearest rival the Daily Post at 30,585 and then the next best is the South Wales Echo with 30,178.

Next comes the Western Mail with an average daily circulation of 25,435 then the South Wales Argus 21,437 and the Wrexham Leader with 15,314, worryingly the figures show falls of between 4 and 9% in average circulation in the 6 months to June.

It makes you wonder how we can call Wales a serious democracy with such poor newspaper circulation and  interest from those titles in the daily goings on in Welsh politics.
