8. Total readers! NME (IPC MEDIA)
The blue line represents the amount of magazines in circulation.
The red line represents the amount of people that read the circulated magazines.
The red line is higher than the blue line because in a house hold more than one person may read the magazine purchased.
There is a strong negative coloration of print based media declining through the years. This caused the amount of magazines in
circulation to decline. This could be due to the uprising of technology and digital media making magazines being accessible on
phones or computers making the print based magazine’s sales deplete.

9. Total Readers! Q (Bauer MEDIA)
The red line represents the amount of people that read the circulated magazines.
The blue line represents the amount of magazines in circulation.
The red and blue line are crossing as in some months there were more magazines in circulation than there were sold.
There is an overall negative correlation as the rise of technology is effecting the media driving less people to buy print
based products.

10. Total Readers SPIN (SPINMEDIA)
This table shows how many visitors the publishers website has got in the us alone.
The official media website 30,000,00 spending collectively over 287,000,000 minutes spent on the website.
This shows that people are using digital media in vast amounts, thus causing a decline in the sales of print based media
Spin magazine is now published as a webzine, I have included this to show the uprising of digital media and the decline
of print based media as technology advances
