Magazine ABC sales figures for the first half of 2013: All Press Gazette’s coverage

By Dominic Ponsford

In common with other publishing sectors, most print magazines lost sales in the first half of this year.

But print sales are being offset in some cases by digital edition growth. And these figures do not include the contribution made to readership, advertising and subscription revenue by websites and apps.

Even just focusing on print, many titles continue to hold their ground (such as The Economist and Private Eye) or even grow their print sales (MoneyWeek, Women's Health and The Oldie for instance).

Here is a round-up of Press Gazette's coverage of the consumer magazine industry ABC figures for the first half of 2013:

Full magazine circulation round-up for the first half of 2013 (every title listed)
Women's weeklies: every title down year on year
Under press lads' mags see big circulation declines
Digital edition sales nearly double year on year
Music magazine sales hit bum note across the board
Cosmo, Glamour and Grazia among the big fallers in women's lifestyle sector
Private Eye still leads print sales in robust current affairs sector
Digital editions cancelling out print sales decline for some magazine titles
TV Choice stays top of the pile as rival listings titles lose sales
