Traditionally Roy Morgan Newspaper Readership estimates are presented and compared ‘year-on-year’. However, a comparison of the latest Roy Morgan Readership figures (12 months to September 2009) with those of a year ago (12 months to September 2008), is a very harsh comparison. The year to September 2008 was the boom before the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) while the latest figures include the 12 months of GFC. Moreover, in the latest 12 months data the Roy Morgan Readership estimates excluded ‘online only’ reading of newspapers. In previous years, and until June 2008, the Roy Morgan Readership survey did not specifically separate or exclude from the estimates readers who only read the newspaper online. More insight about the ‘state of newspapers’ can be gleaned by comparing the most recent data (12 months to September 2009) with the last released data (12 months to June 2009). The methodology was consistent for both periods and both include the tumultuous period of the GFC. A comparison of the most recent survey periods shows newspapers have largely held their own — although some increased and some decreased. Clearly this is a much better situation than is seen overseas and especially in the US.
