Production of The Times (UK) 2024 - video

Yes, I know there's no "Metal Type" to be seen here!

An interesting video though. My ears pricked up towards the end when the narrator said that every day over a million papers left the plant to be distributed across the country.

I thought the figure was a little high, so I decided to check The Times's circulation figures.



As you can see the Times's circulation figures are now kept secret, but are estimated to be around 180,000 per day. So it is anyone's guess what the other 800,000 newspapers are that they print!

Would you trust the news from a man who won't tell you how many newspapers he sells?

Anyway (rant over) here's the video:
