Newspapers ABC Q4 2020: Lacklastre quarter for newspapers

A lacklustre quarter that was once again dominated by no submissions, no issues and terminations. The Audit Bureau of Circulation (ABC) Q4, for the period October to December 2020, did not have much to celebrate.
Newspapers ABC Q4 2020: Lacklastre quarter for newspapers

Daily newspapers

In this category of 27, 10 dailies did not submit data for the quarter and one daily changed publisher. Of the publications that did submit only seven increased on the previous quarter, with these ranging from a slight increase of 0.4% for Die Burger (daily) to an increase of 7% for Business Day, 6% for The Citizen (daily) and 4.9% for Son (daily).

In a reversal on the previous quarter, New Vision experienced a decrease on the previous quarter. While Bukedde* also showed a decrease, it was the only daily to show an increase on the prior year. The biggest declines - over 50% - on the prior year came from the Pretoria News, Cape Argus, Cape Times, and The Star. It is no surprise then that the Pretoria News, Cape Argus, and Cape Times were among the dailies which had no submissions for the quarter. Volksblad showed a massive increase on the previous quarter but this is because it has changed to digital only.
