The weekly magazine market saw a 3.5 per cent fall across the category, with a number of ACP Magazines titles including NW and Take 5 suffering significant falls.

The results follows a revolving door of editors at NW in recent times, with Corrine Barraclough reportedly reinstated to the role of executive editor and existing editor Lisa Sinclair moved down as her deputy.

NW fell almost 10 per cent to 128,133, while Take 5 fell 11.12 per cent to 231,114 in the three months to the end of the December 2009, according to the latest Audit Bureau of Circulations figures.
