People don't really read newspapers any more. In Jan 2020, newspaper circulation was about 10% of the country [0]. In Jan 2021 this is down about 35% (far fewer people commuting or even going to shops to buy a paper -- the Metro lost 60% of its readers)
The left always complain about the power of the Daily Mail - but it reaches fewer than 1 million people a day. How do you explain the other 67 million people in the UK?
