Australian Vogue, the magazine offshoot of Taste.com.au, Country Style, Harpers Bazaar, Donna Hay, Marie Claire and Delicious are a handful of very few Australian titles managing to retain print circulations, according to figures issued today by Audited Media Association Australia (AMAA).
Each time the ABC figures are released they continue to the paint the story of declines in paid print sales across the board, with the newspaper and magazine industry bodies and their publishers, turning to other metrics to tell a different story.
Note that some of the magazines listed were audited for print and digital subscription circulation, some for purely print circulation - referenced here as 'print only'.
Year-on-year figures to the end of December 2015 show that Vogue marginally increased its audience by 1.7% to a monthly circulation of 51,818 (print only).
Meanwhile, Taste’s magazine remained constant with a 0.2% upswing, clocking up 81,687 readers. Harper’s experienced a very tiny decline – down 0.1% to 52,246 (print only).
Donna Hay slipped marginally by 0.1% to 93,614, while Delicious, NewsLifeMedia's food and lifestyle title, dropped a very small amount - 0.1% - to 93,867.
Across the newspapers, all of which register print and digital subscriptions - with the exception of the Australian Financial Review - there were small declines, apart from The Australian which recorded a 2.5% increase to 168,678.
