top 25 daily newspapers in the U.S. by circulation
2006-10-30
Here are the top 25 daily newspapers in the U.S. by circulation (with percent change) for the six-month period ending September 2006.

1. USA Today: 2,269509, (-1.3%)
Main circulation point is that it's sold nationwide. America's plain vanilla, mostly liberal, newspaper. Gives you something to read at McDonalds.
2. The Wall Street Journal: 2,043235, (-1.9%)
3. The New York Times: 1,086,798, (-3.5%)
4. Los Angeles Times: 775,766, (-8.0%)
Times, both Noo Yawk and Lost Angeles, become more lefty ideological, watch circulation drift. Noo Yawk version has the virtue of reputation, disadvantage of Maureen Dowd. LA version has... ummm... free Streisand tickets? That makes it decline and fall record holder, barely edging out Philly Inquirer.
5. The New York Post: 704,011, 5.3%
6. Daily News: 693,382, 1.0%
Noo Yawk bloids are actually competing with each other, Post conservative, Daily Nooze wobbly.
7. The Washington Post: 656,297, (-3.3%)
8. Chicago Tribune: 576,132, (-1.7%)
9. Houston Chronicle: 508,097, (-3.6%)
10. Newsday: 413,579, (-4.9%)
11. The Arizona Republic, Phoenix: 397,294, (-2.5%)
12. The Boston Globe: 386,415, (-6.7%)
Ideology index up, circulation down.
13. The Star-Ledger, Newark, N.J.: 378,100, (-5.5%)
14. San Francisco Chronicle: 373,805, (-5.3%)
The Comical's target audience seems to be homeless people and the bathouse community. One doesn't buy newspapers.
15. The Star Tribune, Minneapolis: 358,887, (-4.1%)
16. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution: 350,157, (-3.4%)
17. The Plain Dealer, Cleveland: 336,939, (-0.6%)
18. The Philadelphia Inquirer: 330,622, (-7.5%)
Used to be a good, if liberal, newspaper. Shows a breathtaking decline in quality, now merely liberal.
19. Detroit Free Press: 328,628, (-3.6%)
20. The Oregonian, Portland: 310,803, (-6.8%)
21. The San Diego Union-Tribune: 304,334, (-3.1%)
22. St. Petersburg (Fla.) Times: 288,676, (-3.2%)
23. The Orange County (Calif.) Register: 287,204, (-3.7%)
24. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch: 276,588, 0.6%
25. The Sacramento (Calif.) Bee: 273,609, (-5.4%)
