Newspapers.

Subscriptions of the top newspapers in England and their circulation figures. as you can see The Sun has steadily dropped by just over half a million readers. Although a publication such as the daily star has increased in readers from 2000 to 2004 but then declined, even with the decline though they still have a larger follow ship that they did in 2000.

The dailies have lost over 2,250,000 readers. (Reported 2009)         
Due to the change in readers a lot of advertising agents that used to use the newspaper to promote products, or even people that sold things in the classifieds has gone down due to people being able to list on the internet with site such as www.ebay.com or www.craigslist.com where some things to list are free of charge.
A major player in the news industry is Rupert Murdoch. A list of his assets are here. Murdoch owns a lot of Fox (television and films) and newspapers such as The Sun/ News of the World/ The Times. These are the major market dominator's in England though so he has masive power over what gets put into the news.
