The weekly Monday-Friday print Sunshine Coast Daily decreased from 45,000 to 42,000 from March 2014 to March 2015 and the readership of the weekend (Saturday) print Sunshine Coast Daily decreased from 46,000 to 37,000 from March 2014 to March 2015

The reasons for this decline in circulation is because of competition from other media and because newspapers represent a ???mature??? industry approaching its end.Furthermore, population declines, closure of major industries in regional areas and reductions in editorial space may have also contributed to the decline in readership.
