A number of Trinity Mirror regional newspapers in the North suffered heavy declines in print circulation over the past year.
The Liverpool Echo was the worst performing title in the region, sinking 13.5% to sales of 61,255, while the Huddersfield Daily Examiner and Newcastle Chronicle were not far behind with falls of 12.3% and 12% to 14,941 and 36,493 copies respectively.
