Audit Bureau of Circulations figures out Thursday did not look good for most newspapers in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales, as just one in more than 30 weekly Welsh papers reported a sales increase in the second half of 2007, compared to the same period a year before, the Guardian reported.
In some places in Wales, year-on-year circulation decreased by as much as 18.4 percent.
In Scotland, circulation for the Evening Times in Glasgow fell 6.2 percent, and the Aberdeen Press & Journal saw circulation drop 2.6 percent, according to the Guardian.
In Northern Ireland, the Belfast Telegraph saw sales drop 13.9 percent.
However, there were some bright spots. In Northern Ireland, most weeklies saw year-on-year growth in sales, with 17 titles growing circulation. In Scotland, two titles, The East Lothian News Series and Ellon Times and East Gordon Advertiser, rose 12.4 percent, the Guardian reported.
