New circulation numbers?

[loveyabye]

I saw the ABC released its new circulation findings for the past six months today. I have only seen the numbers for the top 25 newspapers on Editor and Publisher; has anyone seen numbers for other papers?

Yippee! At this rate I'll still have a job for 43.48 years.

USA Today is at 2.278 million. Anyone know is this is down from last year? Anyone know what their all-time high was?

Checked a few of my old shops. Wow. That's depressing.

Our circulation is up. Not by much, but it's gone up.

The fact that where I am now is bigger than my old shop is absurd. Those that know me understand why.

Detroit News is down to 181k? Gawd, that's awful...

Is there a way to view the circ numbers from September? I forget what my paper's exact circulation was before these new numbers came out.

Love how the Racing Form is listed with the NY papers.

USA Today is at 2.278 million.

There's no question this figure is fudged, what with complimentary hotel distributions.

I always wondered about that. I usually stay at Hampton Inns and there's always one at my door in the morning, though I usually grab a local paper.

 

[Herbert Anchovy]

Yes, and it's amazing how many of the papers go untouched in front of the door.

How many times do you see someone leafing through a paper in the hotel restaurant or even the bar? I'm not seeing it. I have seen plenty of it in Europe.

they were lying to me at my shop.

Slappy,

Have you seen a Detroit News lately? Sheesh.

They get paid for. I think that's all that matters here.

None of us gets credit for pass-along either, right?

Detroit News design is great, but Free Press kicks its ass in writing/coverage, IMO.

I'm pretty sure (although I don't know for certain) that those hotel distributions aren't complimentary. You're paying for a paper when you stay there.

Read the fine print of the folder with your key. At most places, you can turn down the paper, and 50 cents will be deducted from your bill. But no one bothers, in part because few people traveling on business pay for their own hotel rooms. And, what the hell, it's only 50 cents.

It's a creative way to make money (and bump up your circulation). I'd love to know how many people buy USAToday who are NOT staying in hotels. The Wall Street Journal does the same thing with rental cars and hotels, but I think it's a much lower percentage.

I've noticed more local papers are doing that at the last few hotels I've stayed at.
