History

The newspaper was known as The Star of the East from 1885 until 1893 when it became The Evening Star. On 23 January 2012 The Evening Star was rebranded as the Ipswich Star, for sale in Ipswich, and the Felixstowe Star for sale in Felixstowe. Both editions are published Monday to Friday only, with a Saturday edition no longer viable.

The newspaper has long been published by the same company as the East Anglian Daily Times . The news operations were merged in 2010.

In the period December 2010 to June 2011, average daily circulation was 15,351. [2] This had dropped to an average daily circulation of 8,620 (of which 2,836 are free copies) for the period ended July to December 2017. The free Ipswich Advertiser was separated from the newspaper and sales declined further to 6,000 for the period January to June 2018 (actual paid for sales are now down to around 3,000). [3]

Green 'Un

From 1923 until 2008 the Star had a Saturday football edition, originally called the Football Star and then the Green 'Un. The Green 'Un is no longer printed but exists as a website, focused on non-league football.

Print circulation is the average number of copies of a publication. The number of copies of a non-periodical publication are usually called print run. Circulation is not always the same as copies sold, often called paid circulation, since some issues are distributed without cost to the reader. Readership figures are usually higher than circulation figures because of the assumption that a typical copy is read by more than one person.
