There could be a problem for newspapers

 I am struck by a lack of news this week. Odd as just ahead of an election. there are some stories but nothing like the energy I remember from previous occasions. It may be the complications of Brexit and the conservative Party that make it complicated for the Mail / Express / Sun / Telegraph. They do not seem to know whether to back Reform or attack on behalf of Conservatives. Many readers probably like Farage stories so there is a muddle.

Print circulation numbers are not published in all cases now but I guess there is decline. Evening standard has stopped print midweek. I think national daily papers may go the same way. Telegraph now £3.50 which seems a lot. FT went expensive but most readers shifted online. It seems possible print was continued for the election but maybe not much longer.

Similar for fringe telly. Could move to YouTube.
