In 2023, SPH Media's circulation numbers have been a topic of much discussion and debate. With the company's recent financial struggles, many have questioned the future of its print publications. However, SPH Media insists that its circulation numbers are still strong and that its newspapers remain a vital part of the Singaporean media landscape.
According to the Audit Bureau of Circulations (ABC), SPH Media's flagship newspaper, The Straits Times, has a daily circulation of 303,581. This makes it the most widely-read newspaper in Singapore. SPH Media's other newspapers, The Business Times and The New Paper, have circulations of 100,805 and 150,184, respectively.
In addition to its print publications, SPH Media also has a strong online presence. Its website, straitstimes.com, is the most popular news website in Singapore, with over 10 million unique visitors per month. SPH Media also has a number of mobile apps, which have been downloaded over 2 million times.
The circulation numbers show that SPH Media's newspapers still reach a large audience in Singapore. However, it is important to note that these numbers have been declining in recent years. In 2013, The Straits Times had a daily circulation of 388,121. This means that the newspaper has lost over 80,000 readers in the past five years.
The decline in circulation is likely due to a number of factors, including the rise of online news and the increasing popularity of social media. However, SPH Media insists that its newspapers remain a valuable source of news and information for Singaporeans.
SPH Media is facing a number of challenges, including declining circulation numbers and financial difficulties. However, the company is determined to remain a vital part of the Singaporean media landscape. SPH Media is investing in new digital initiatives and is working to find new ways to engage with readers.
It is too early to say what the future holds for SPH Media. However, the company's strong brand and loyal readership give it a solid foundation to build on.
