Several UK music print publications have seen a marked drop in readership over the last six months.
ABC figures show NME to be the worst hit, with a 16.6% decline from the year prior and 3.7% in the past six months alone.
Elsewhere, Metal Hammer‘s readership fell 14.8% in December 2012 compared to that of the year previous. Free magazine, The Fly have also experienced a drop but only marginally, with average circulation decreasing by 2,000 in 12 months.
