Also they are, unfortunately, including bulks as its impossible to guess what figure to put on the bulk sales.

The Sunday world manages to increase its revenue on a flat circulation figure and the Daily Mail has a decent increase in revenue thanks to a circulation increase and a price rise. The Mirror is the run-away success story with a huge increase in revenue. Conversely the Sunday Independent dropped 7%

The morning market suffered the same fate – any paper that held it’s price at last years levels suffered. Its only when you see the revenue for the mornings you begin to understand the cash involved in the market – nearly a quarter of a billion a year spent on National titles alone.
