The Wall Street Journal remains the No. 1 newspaper in the U.S with average weekday circulation of 2.1 million, according to the Audit Bureau of Circulations.
Gannett Co.'s USA Today ranks second with 1.8 million, and The New York Times is third with 1.2 million on average from Monday to Friday. The latest figures, covering the six months that ended Sept. 30, were released Tuesday.
The Times' circulation grew after it started charging online fees or requiring a print subscription for full access to its website and mobile services. That began just before the start of the latest circulation reporting period. Digital subscriptions are included in the circulation totals.
The Times had the highest circulation on Sundays with 1.6 million. Neither the Journal nor USA Today publishes on Sundays.
Circulation has been declining at newspapers in part because readers are shifting from printed editions to free news sources on the Web and on mobile devices. For most newspapers, digital subscriptions have not caught on. The exceptions are primarily publications with national clout.
During the April-September period, the Times had average weekday digital circulation of 380,003 and Sunday circulation of 371,933. News Corp.'s Journal had a weekday average of 537,469.
The latest circulation numbers are not comparable with those from the same period last year because of new rules governing what counts as circulation.

The WSJ is a pretty good paper overall. I wish it wouldn’t confab with NBC so damn much...and they sometimes lean a bit left....but compared to the Slimes or that 6th grade level McPaper, it shines!
WSJ - My one and only newspaper subscription.
The WSJ is too compromising on the issue of illegal immigration for me.
I haven’t read a newspaper in 10 years.
What would be the point of it?
