Ooh did someone mention libraries? (Which are funded by your council tax.) You can also access the internet for free there.Chie wrote: If you want to read a proper newspaper but can't afford to buy one then you can pop into your local library, where you'll find a selection of the day's newspapers - everything from the Daily Star to the Financial Times - which you can read at your leisure absolutely free of charge.

I've looked at the website you mention and the figures are meaningless as they don't tell me over what period - ie is that 61% of people read a national newspaper each day? Or is is 61% each week? Each quarter? Each year?Chie wrote:lol.

The figures for newspapers (compiled by the ABC: http://www.abc.org.uk ) are done by circulation - i.e. the number of copies that get distributed, including discounted, corporate and voucher purchases which are included in the total but counted seperately. Normal sales are done on a sale or return basis - the newsagents return unsold copies so I assume it's mostly calculated as number prints minus number returnedSput wrote:Is the daily circulation figure the number that are printed or the number that are bought from shops?

'Monetise' isn't a word - it says 'monetize' in the Oxford English Dictionary.
