Daily Mail announces redundancy plans as print readership declines

  1. Isn’t their website the most popular news website in the world or something like that? They’re probably focusing on that.

  2. How can their website be so popular? Aside from the shit articles, it seems so riddled with adverts it just feels like I’d get malware from it straight away.

  3. Unless you commute who really reads print anymore?

    Mind you at least on print you don’t get that lovely “CLICK HERE TO COOKIE THINGY” window that gets in your face and demands you deal with it just to read the site. That’s something it has going for it.

  4. when my mum died a couple of years ago we had to clear out old copies of the daily mail dating back at least 10 years. She used to cut out “shocking” stories and photocopy them and mail them to people. She was an uptight tory voter as well.

  5. It is awful for those with their jobs on the line, but I always thought personally that it was an awful newspaper.

  6. Newspapers are generally in decline, but I can’t not rejoice at the Daily Mail struggling

  7. “Those who are made redundant will feature in a special article entitled ‘Benefits Scroungers Taking Your Hard-Earned Cash'”

    Very sorry

  8. It’s ok. The journalists made redundant can just sign on and get £50k a year, a free house and car on benefits as well as three food bank deliveries a week. Just like they’ve been telling us for years.

  9. Might have something to do with it going from 50p for a weekday paper to 90p. I only used to buy it for the crossword and letters. But like hell am I paying those prices for something I can get for free elsewhere

  10. Only as elderly people die off. Younger people might have switched online but people here seem shocked that anyone still buys the paper, as if they have never met an elderly person. Stand by the paper stand at the supermarket for ten minutes and you will see that the average age of someone buying the paper will be those 65+. It’s only that bracket dying off that is killing print circulation.
