High-flying Irish Examiner adds 40,000 new readers

THE Irish Examiner’s readership soared by a massive 40,000 additional readers a day last year, new research figures reveal.

The Joint National Readership Survey (JNRS) figures released yesterday also show that this newspaper has by far the highest readership growth of any other Irish newspaper, daily, evening or Sunday.

During the period under review, January to December of last year, the Irish Independent lost 37,000 (-6%) readers a day, while the Irish Times gained 13,000 (+4%). All the tabloids saw readership fall.
