Readership grows in newspapers

THE Irish Examiner's readership base remains rock solid in the face of intense competition, the latest figures from the Joint National Readership Survey (JNRS) reveal.

The readership of daily newspapers in Ireland is increasing but, despite fierce competition, the Irish Examiner continues to outperform the Irish Independent and the Irish Times in the key, affluent Munster market.

The paper also made gains in Dublin and the important youth and AB consumer demographic.
