The top 25 U.S. newspapers by average weekday and Sunday circulation from October 2009 through March. The percentage changes are from the same six-month span last year.
(Excerpt) Read more at cnbc.com ...
The numbers get better in the Spring when people paint and fish a lot more.
Pretty numbers.
LOL
I suppose the fall and winter do better as well as people need something to light to start those fireplaces.
Well they light BBQ’S in the summer.
My prediction is that we're going to hear about bail outs for the newspapers...they can't continue bleeding money and stay in business without intervention...either in the product or by the government.
I wonder what percentage of those papers are sold for the express purpose of building fires and wrapping fish. Now that'd be a business one can start up...wrapping and fire-starter material...save on the ink money and you can beat out the newspapers.
I get mine from my Mom’s house. She still likes to read it. But she is 82.
Newspaper also makes great liner of raised bed gardening. I used 6 months of the Houston Chronicle for that purpose this year. Kills grass dead...and is bio-degradable!
Never thought of that one. Hey did you hear that a nickle is now worth 6.2 cents in metal value?
I wonder if anyone in Newspapers number 2 through 25 has a clue why the # 1 WSJ went up in circulation?
I doubt it because it'd require a major shift in mindset to arrive at that conclusion...and liberals are hard wired to think poorly.
I think it’s fitting that those that read the rags get an inky film on their hands after handling them.
1... Wall Street Journal - actually UP 0.5 %
2... St. Petersburg Times - down 1.5% week days - UP 0.9% Sunday
3... Oregonian of Portland: down 1.8% week days - 3.2% Sunday
Causes: Global Warming, racism, right-wing violence
OK, I mad that last part up
One sure does need to wash one's hands after handling the rags. Cleaning one's mind from the filth requires the real facts...not as easy to obtain as water and soap.
The Boston Globe *almost* went under a few months ago.With any luck at all we’ll be rid of it very soon.Then we won’t have to put up with any more “women and minorities hit hardest” BS.
I've suggested, only partly jokingly, that "journalism" should be removed from the list of majors that the federal government approves for student loans because they aren't turning out any journalists...just propagandists. Let the political parties pay for propagandists...we should only support real journalists.
I did notice that the NY Post, which is a conservative paper, also lost readers. Would a bailout extend to conservative newspapers?
Another bailout. Soon the U.S. will envy Greece.
The Obama regime has developed quite the track record of picking winners and losers...so I have no doubts that some papers will be saved and others won't. Any real doubt as to which won't?
