Believe It or Not: 70 Papers That Posted Circ Gains

Posted
By: E&P Staff Believe it or not, given the grim news for the overall industry and especially the largest newspapers, some papers did post circulation gains in the latest Fas-Fax report from the Audit Bureau of Circulations. The Newspaper Association of America says that 3 in 10 papers posted some gains, but far fewer than that improved both daily and Sunday. So here is a partial list of the papers that managed to achieve that elusive goal of picking up readers both during the week and on Sundays. Some of the gains were very small -- in several cases, less than 10 copies -- but as George Bush learned in 2000, a win is a win. If your paper is not included here and should be, let us know and we will add it.
