List of newspapers in Australia by circulation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Note that this article provides historical figures only for selected papers only with very few updates since 2018. Newspapers such Guardian Australia, Crikey and The Saturday Paper are not listed.

There are several measures of circulation of newspapers. The Australian Bureau of Circulations (ABC) Paid Media Audit Data provides independent verification of paid media distribution in Australia. Measures are also divided by electronic and print versions. The trend shown over the years is continuously declining for the print newspapers and surging for electronic newspapers since the 21st century.[1]

Circulation of print newspapers[edit]

Circulation of print newspapers is typically divided into Monday–Friday, Saturday/weekend and Sunday for each quarter. In 2017 the Audited Media Association of Australia announced that circulation figures were to be published every six months.[2] The Herald Sun has the highest circulation in Australia. Based in one of the country's two major cities, Melbourne, it is the result of the amalgamation of the original Sun and Herald newspapers.

Circulation of digital newspapers[edit]

For the quarterly reporting period of the ABC data, from March to June 2016, Fairfax made the decision to remove its digital circulation numbers because it believes the figures, released by the Audited Media Association of Australia (AMAA), wrongfully suggest subscriptions at The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age are falling. In October 2017, The Australian owned by News Corp, claimed to be the first newspaper in Australia achieving over 100,000 paying online subscribers.[3]
