I found Saturday’s page 3 report gratifying. The West is “among the most successful in Australia”. Heartening news for these troubled times. The weekend edition “is now only a few hundred copies away from being the country’s second-biggest selling newspaper on a Saturday.”
It is partly thanks to me, a loyal subscriber, so I was quietly chuffed. But, predictably, the negative unhelpful inappropriate carping began. This graph on that negative unhelpful innapropriate carping blog Mumbrella (dumb name, dumb site), for example. All they can do is say sales of the West during the week plunged by 8.7%, and 3.8% on Saturday. Sheesh! The West Australian is surging, as any fule kno.

Plunged is such an ugly word. I prefer tanked. Or plonged.
So what they are saying is thank you for not letting us tank as fast as the others?
LikeLike
Precisely. Also… thanks for allowing the FIFO industry a discreet means of sourcing out “escorts” in Perth for as long as possible. No digital footprint with the West.

Tanking and plonged are also negative and nasty – like you.
Good DAY, sir.

Does it make a difference that WA has no other choice of newspaper? So assuming a similar percentage of newspaper readers per population as any other state, but other states have a choice of newspapers, and only a small percentage of readers buy more than one daily paper….it’s not that impressive a statistic.

note that the Audit Bureau figures are for circulation, not sales. Most of these newspapers keep their circulation up by dumping vast numbers of unsold copies in hotels, airports, libraries, universities etc.
use of the term ‘biggest-selling’ is, like, totally bogus.

I thought they had to declare the comp copies now?

maybe.
perhaps, like everything else in Teh West, the sales figures are pasted from a more reliable source.
