US circulation
Via the Publicitas newsletter I got the latest US circulation data on the top 10 paid dailies. Not a very happy sight, with 8 out of 10 losing circulation in 2007/2008. Only the Wall Street Journal and USA Today saw their circulation increase. The list, however, also showed that the 10 most circulated dailies are not all paid dailies.
Wall Street Journal and USA Today are leading, followed by The New York Times and the Los Angeles Times. Free daily The Examiner is the 5th although with roughly the same circulation as the New York Daily News, the New York Post, and the The Washington Post. Metro is the 9th paper in circulation, followed by the Chicago Tribune.
