Weeklies/bi-weeklies/monthlies
There have been no significant readership changes
amongst papers in this category, which has been very stable across three surveys.
There have been only two significant changes in the
weekly category. Pretoria News Weekend is up over the
previous survey from 0.3% to 0.5%, with 152 000 total
readers. The paper has had upward shifts amongst both
males and females, in age group 25-34, and amongst
LSM 7-8.
Sunday Sun is also on the rise. It has grown its readers
from 4.2% penetration in the previous period, to 5.3%,
going from a zero base to 1.587-million readers within a
year, bringing its readership up to almost half of the
biggest weekly, Sunday Times. The paper is up in metro
and large urban areas, in Gauteng and North West, in
Cape Town, on the Reef, and in Pretoria, amongst both
males and females, 16-49, and LSM 6-7. It has clearly
grown this sector of the newspaper market, since the other
weeklies have shown no significant declines.
The average number of weekly newspapers per reader
is 1.94.
