1) In 1965 which newspaper was the top seller?

Daily Mirror at around 5 million papers per day

2) Which was the lowest selling newspaper in 2015? What was the consequence of this?

The Independent was the lowest selling newspaper the consequence would be they wouldn't get enough money to keep producing newspaper and would go bankrupt. In 2016 the independent went online fully.

1)What are online newspaper paywalls? Are they effective?

A paywall describes a method of restricting access to online content via a paid subscription. Yes they give that newspaper a way of gain more money and get loyal readership.

2)How are newspapers currently funded? (think about advertising space, cover price of a newspaper & paywalls)
