We are densley populated, and we love our papers, we used to have bunches more!

How to spot the fake New Yorker: Have them pronounce "Staten Island Advance".

WSJ nearly twice the circulation of the NY Times and the LA Times. Didn't know that and that is GOOD news.

As the WSJ likes to say itself, they're about the only paper in the county that a lot of people subscribe to just for the editorial page.

The New York Times, 1,118,565, up 0.5 percent

I think it is legit to include the WSJ online subscriptions as, unlike the other fishwraps, you really do have to pay to get their paper. There version is just another means of distribution.

To qualify the on-line suscription must be at least 25% of the cost of the print paper. If you don't get the print paper, the on-line is $79/yr. If you get the paper, it is $39, which doesn't meet the 25% standard. About 400,000 people get both.

It must be the advertising revenue that's down for the NYTIMES. . . 5%. I can not believe that this error-filled rag has increased it's circulation but then, it's bought by the same people who elected Schumer and Hillary.

The New York Times circulation is NOT up. First of all, keep in mind that a 0.5% increase in circulation is practically statistical noise. Second, and far more importantly, note that these numbers are compared to the same period a year ago, not the prior six months. On March 30, their circulation was 1,130,740. That means that in the last six months, the Times's circulation has DROPPED 1.1 percent.

See post 26, Stroking-Chin Boy. Their circulation is actually DOWN 1.1% since the Iraq/Jayson Blair scandals hit.

I would agree. I'm an on-line subscriber because I hate dealing with used newspapers. If there's an article I want to keep, I save it to my hard drive. There it's filed and indexed so I can find it again, unlike my husband's four crates of 20 year old clippings.
