Readership gains as JEP bucks regional paper sales trend

The newspaper’s average net circulation was 17,912 copies a day in the first six months of 2012, according to the Audit Bureau of Circulation. That was a fall of 0.97% as compared to the same period in 2011.

Overall readership of the JEP in print and online continues to grow, however, with a year-on-year increase currently running at almost 4% with some 70,000 people a day reading JEP content on all platforms.

Making it a Channel Islands double, the JEP’s sister paper, the Guernsey Press, was second in the ABC figures for print sales, recording a drop of just over 1% to 15,013 copies a day.

Although the figures showed small falls in circulation, they recorded the best performance in the sector in the British Isles as some regional daily titles recorded a drop in circulation of double-digit decline.
