2014-10-24 GERMANY: Slump in pro-US newspaper/newsmagazine sales

2014-10-24 GERMANY: Slump in pro-US newspaper/newsmagazine sales
=============================
[via Anonymous Berlin]
Major decline from same period last year. Anonymous ties the decline to the blatant pro US stance of these publications, which generated objections in Germany.
Left-leaning publications shows smaller declines, or even gains.

______
Massive slump: in the editorial offices of foreign controlled US opinion makers, the grim reaper walks around, there is grave digger mood. Whether newspapers or magazines: there have been reported [1] [2] partly drastic loss of sales compared to the same period last year. So the "Süddeutsche Zeitung" lost 5.76 percent of their circulation. 379.798 copies the "SZ" is the highest-circulation German daily newspaper after the "image" but still. The sold copies of the "Frankfurter Allgemeine" down by 8.7 percent to 305.747 copies, "Die Welt" ("World" + "Welt Kompakt") loses even double digits and ends up at a decline of 10 percent in a sold circulation of 202.630 copies. Especially in the retail, it went down for the daily violent 25.6 percent of Axel Springer. Despite a decline of 8.4 percent, highest-circulation daily newspaper remains the "image" with a sold circulation amounting to 2.313.130 copies. Among the magazines der Spiegel (- 6.4%) could the worst numbers present. ^ ^ the link alternative "taz" comes with a blue eye of them and achieved a sold circulation of 54.806 copies, which "New Germany" edition of the Socialist daily newspaper about 6.6 percent to 28.257 copies at a minus 3.6 percent back [3].
This is a reason to celebrate - at least to anyone who no longer add themselves to the feeble rest of the now completely idiot readership. In this sense: Cheers!

Massiver Absatzeinbruch: In den Redaktionen der fremdgesteuerten US-Meinungsmacher geht der Sensenmann herum, es herrscht Totengräberstimmung. Egal, ob Zeitungen oder Magazine: Es wurden teils drastische Verkaufseinbußen im Vergleich zum Vorjahreszeitraum gemeldet[1][2]. So büßte die "Süddeutsche Zeitung" 5,76 Prozent ihrer verkauften Auflage ein. Mit 379.798 Exemplaren ist die "SZ" nach der "Bild" aber nach wie vor die auflagenstärkste deutsche Tageszeitung. Die verkaufte Auflage der "Frankfurter Allgemeinen" sinkt um 8,7 Prozent auf 305.747 Exemplare, "Die Welt" ("Welt" + "Welt Kompakt") verliert sogar zweistellig und landet bei einem Minus von 10 Prozent bei einer verkauften Auflage von 202.630 Exemplaren. Vor allem im Einzelverkauf ging es für die Tageszeitung von Axel Springer um heftige 25,6 Prozent abwärts. Auflagenstärkste Tageszeitung bleibt trotz einem Minus von 8,4 Prozent die "Bild" mit einer verkauften Auflage in Höhe von 2.313.130 Exemplaren. Unter den Magazinen konnte der Spiegel (-6,4%) die schlechtesten Zahlen vorweisen.^^
Die linksalternative "taz" kommt mit einem blauen Auge davon und erzielt bei einem Minus von 3,6 Prozent eine verkaufte Auflage von 54.806 Exemplaren, die Auflage der sozialistischen Tageszeitung "Neues Deutschland" geht um 6,6 Prozent auf 28.257 Exemplare zurück[3].
Das ist ein Grund zu feiern - zumindest für jeden der sich nicht mehr zum kläglichen Rest der inzwischen völlig verblödeten Leserschaft, hinzuzählt. In diesem Sinne: Prost!
