Whats Black And White And Red All Over? Top Newspaper Circulatio
The Audit Bureau of Circulations has released the numbers for the top 25 daily newspapers in the U.S. based on their weekday circulation numbers. Not surprisingly, the numbers are bad — okay, awful. Exactly one of the top newspapers has shown growth when compared to where they were 6 months ago. That paper is The Wall Street Journal, which is now the number one paper in the country thanks to USA Today’s staggering loss of nearly 20% of its readership the past 6 months. And it’s not like WSJ is growing like gangbusters, it grew 0.61% in the last six months. Also a good list is the top 10 gainers in circulation , only because it looks like they could barely find 10 papers in the entire country with positive gains.
For all the bluster about Google as an enemy of the news industry, you might be surprised to learn that Eric Schmidt , the company’s CEO, is kind of a triumphalist for mainstream media, big newspapers, and print.

Washington Post Folds Business Section Into Front
WASHINGTON — The Washington Post is eliminating its standalone Business section on weekdays and folding business coverage into the "A" front section, the newspaper announced Friday. The Post is also eliminating daily stock listings. It will instead offer a half-page of statistics and graphics that will focus on prices of major and local stocks and other economic data. Many newspapers have been eliminating standalone business sections to cut production costs amid plunging advertising revenue. Last month, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution announced similar plans, and earlier this month the Los Angeles Times shrunk from five to four daily sections. Executive Editor Marcus Brauchli said in a statement that the change also reflects "the increasing overlap of political and economic events" and allows the Post "to run a leaner, better-organized newspaper."
