May Day: This Blog is Losing Followers

Really not a surprise considering what I'm working with:

"A decrease in print circulation"

"Globe circulation continues climb; Paid digital subscriptions rise nearly 50%" by Callum Borchers  |  Globe Staff, May 01, 2013

Paid circulation at The Boston Globe continues to climb on the strength of digital subscriptions, which shot up by almost 50 percent in six months, according to figures released Tuesday by the Alliance for Audited Media.

The Globe’s weekday circulation includes print readership and digital subscriptions....

The latest report marked the third straight period of gains for the Globe, after circulation fell in every reporting period from 2004 to 2011. The increases helped make the Globe the 24th highest among paid-circulation papers in the country, a year after it had fallen out of the top 25.

The Globe’s latest growth bucked a national trend. Industrywide, newspaper circulation fell 0.7 percent on weekdays and 1.4 percent on Sundays during the six-month period ended in March.

Total circulation figures for the Globe and other newspapers include some overlap between print and digital readers.

Globe on the Rebound

Yeah, I guess it helps the numbers when you COUNT THINGS TWICE!!!

The Globe’s surge in weekday digital subscriptions more than offset a decrease in print circulation....

The top five US newspapers in weekday circulation were The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, USA Today, The Los Angeles Times, and The New York Daily News, in that order.

The Globe didn't make it?
