Data I am seeing from over 100 newsagencies indicates that magazine sales in the computer category, covering around 200 titles, are down 25% year on year. This drop is bigger than I am seeing for other magazine categories and reflects the increasing use of the Internet for information previously sourced from magazines. While not unexpected, the sales drop, if accurately reflecting a national trend, is concerning for publishers and newsagents alike. Computer titles used to be a strong traffic and sales contributor to newsagents and to lose that will cause significant pain.
