Broadsheet Blues

The Irish Times is still a broadsheet newspaper while many of the other newspapers are or have a tabloid version. I had a look at Wikipedia and was surprised to see many of the Irish publications are not Irish owned. Also some of the publications are no longer auditing their circulation figures. I wonder is there a reason why. 

While  most young people have gone tablet or mobile phone to read the newspapers some of the older readers cannot resist the wrestle of the broadsheet.
