Newspapers and magazines on the whole aren't self funding, they rely heavily on advertising.
The bigger the circulation the more revenue they can raise by demanding a higher price from advertisers.
People have a choice. They could all read the dry reporting of the Spectator and the Guardian. The vast majority prefer their news in bite sized chunks inbetween the boobs, bingo, (foot)balls...and celebrity blunders.
