Four newspapers were not allowed to include their circulation figures in the report released Monday as a penalty for misstating circulation figures in the past: Newsday of New York's Long Island; the Dallas Morning News; the Chicago Sun-Times and Hoy, a Spanish-language newspaper in New York. The first three papers were among the top 20 in the comparable reporting period a year ago.
(a) Includes Saturday circulation.

That word should be "lynch". Sorry.
Aren't those telemarketing calls a nuisance? The Gannett paper in my area, the Wilmington News-Journal, used to telemarket relentlessly. It's a poorly written, anti-Republican, left-wing multiculturalist propaganda mouthpiece. Even the local liberals I talk to who read it say that it's a sorry paper (even if they agree with the editorial staff). Without advertising, this paper would be sunk, because they certainly don't have good circulation.
Los Angeles Times, 907,997, down 6.5 percent
I've read that the WSJ is one of the few, or perhaps the only, large paper making money on it's Internet edition.
Are Internet subscribers counted along with ink and paper subscribers?
And yet we keep posting newspaper articles here and commenting on them. But they really don't reach that many people.
Far better are the postings having to do with CNN etc. but they are going down too.
The Philly Inquirer continues it's relentless march downwards. Like the Philadelphia Phillies, the Inquirer demonstrates how to be a loser even when you're in the sixth biggest market in the US.
Gee wonder what was happening six months ago??? Let's see, today is May 2005, subtract six months and that would be about November 2004...isn't that when the most recent Presidential election was held, where the lying, America hating, liberal left lamestream media, was fully engaged in trying to elect their sock puppet John Kerry.
As I recall, there was quite a bit of these so called journalists getting busted right and left with their non-stop fabrications. Guess there is a price to pay for lying.
HAHAHAHAHA! Can't wait till I see these liberal journalist hacks all standing in the unemployment line, bewildered by the cold hard realities of capitalism that they so despise.
Maybe they can all go to work for Barbara Streisand.
Sun Sentinal is OK and isn't as obnoxiously liberal as its readership (Broward and Palm Beach County Democrats).
When I lived in Miami, I only subcribed to the Wall Street Journal.
Unless they were a member of the Ultramontanist wing of Free Republic, which effectively became SchiavoRepublic for a month.
I thought that we read that the circulation was down on the NYT, but that profit was up, due to the sale of building or something.
I wonder which six months this is referring to. It seems strange to release figures for November to April.
LA Times lost me back in the 90's primarily for their screwy billing. Consecutive bills would overlap on the periods they were billing for. When I told them this they said they would fix the problem but they never did. So I told them in my best Donald Trump...
"Ya fiyahd!"
Whenever they've called since, I just hang up.
I believe that they release numbers every month and that each month they compare the number to six months prior.
The St. Petersberg Times is the main paper where I live, next to the Tampa Tribune. It is as biased as the NY Times, maybe even more.
I swear, whenever I see it, I think the criteria for getting on the front page is whether or not it makes Bush and conservatives look bad.
If they can't spin it, they at least change the headline to something negative about Bush.
If they can't find anything negative, they put an editorial on the front page on how bad Bush is.
It makes me mad almost everyday. I am SO HAPPY to see their circulation dropping.
ping
I just read their Sports page.
And, Dan LeBastard (As Uncle Neil calls him) SUCKS~!
When I lived in LA in the mid to late 90s, I used to get the LA Times at first. But it was so blatant in its leftism -- I think more emotionally leftward than even the NY Times -- that I had to stop taking it. And besides, that's when Free Republic came in, and we didn't need the newspapers anymore, except to make fun of how they cover stories.
