How are the sales numbers for Time? I’m going to take a shot in the dark and guess they are declining. Am I right? I wouldn’t even know where to find that kind of information.

Time's total paid and verified weekly circulation during the six months ended June 30 stood at 3.4 million, down 17.1% from 4.1 million during the same period last year following a reduction in January in the magazine's rate base. Newsweek's circulation stood at 3.1 million, virtually unchanged from a year earlier.
