Holy Mackerel! This might come as a big shock mainly to people who live in South Florida but the Miami Herald Circulation has now dropped BELOW that of the Ft. Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel. Here are the facts from a couple of reports:
The Miami Herald has a average weekday combined circulation of 173,555, with Sunday circulation of 217,163. El Nuevo Herald has a combined circulation of 57,743 daily and 72,504 daily.
ABC changed its reporting rules, replacing “total paid circulation” with “total average circulation,” which consists of a publication’s paid and verified print and digital circulation. Due to the change, ABC said it didn’t make any comparisons to prior periods.
Note the new DECEITFUL method of counting "verified print and digital circulation" in the total which means newspapers they GIVE AWAY to schools and other places. Not PAID circulation. In any event let us now compare this to the Sun-Sentinel daily circulation as reported in THE LEDGER:
The St. Petersburg Times remains Florida's largest newspaper, with total average weekday circulation of 292,441, followed by The Orlando Sentinel at 187,841, and the South Florida Sun-Sentinel at 174,641.
So comparing the two circulation numbers, the Sun-Sentinel now BEATS the Miami Herald daily circulation by about a thousand. Keep in mind that the REAL circulation of both newspapers is way below both totals which is now hidden due to the DECEITFUL new way of fraudulently reporting newspaper circulation to "hide the decline."
In any event it completely blows my mind that the Sun-Sentinel now has a larger circulation than the Miami Herald. When I was a kid in the Miami area, Ft. Lauderdale was considered a small satellite city to the north. It was like how Los Angeles would look upon Santa Barbara. And now the "small satellite city" has a greater newspaper circulation than the former colossus to the South.
I guess you sort of have to live or be from South Florida to appreciate the impact of this.
My problem is that I suffer from EXTREME Seasonal Affected Depression. I am OK everywhere during late spring to early autumn. However, I have to be at a latitude from about Orlando south during the shortest days of the year. Therefore in continental USA I could only live in southern Florida or South Texas.
Note that dennisw showed up today to sample Carlton’s jerk chicken. And now you know why I got there every Friday (and many Saturdays including maybe tomorrow).
South Florida does have some benefits, and as much as I love some parts of Texas the south part is not one of them.
Either way...
....si habla espanol?
It's "Se habla espanol?" y mi respuesta es...si.
Some days I speak more Spanish than English. My wife from Venezuela.
