Top
100 Daily Newspapers Rankings Published by BurrellesLuce
Daily Newspaper Saturday Circulation Figures Included In
Report For The First Time
LIVINGSTON, NJ (June 9, 2004) — A unique chart of the
circulation of America’s top 100 daily newspapers is
included with the current issue of The BurrellesLuce Media
Report, and is being made available free of charge as a resource
to professionals in the public relations, corporate communications
and investor relations industries, the company announced
today. The data was compiled by BurrellesLuce from
the Audit Bureau of Circulations’ figures for the six
months ended March 31, 2004.
This is the first Top 100 Daily Newspaper Rankings report
published by BurrellesLuce since the company’s
announced global rebranding initiatives last month.
According to the BurrellesLuce report, the top
newspapers are USA Today and The Wall Street Journal. The
top seven-day-a-week newspapers are The New York Times, Los
Angeles Times, Washington Post, (NY) Daily News, New York
Post, Chicago Tribune, Newsday and Houston Chronicle.
Among the seven-day-a-week newspapers, the top 10 Sunday
newspapers are, in order of circulation, The New York Sunday
Times, Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, Chicago Tribune,
New York Sunday News, Sunday Denver Post and Rocky Mountain
News, Philadelphia Inquirer, Dallas Morning News, Houston
Chronicle and Detroit News and Free Press.
For the first time, the BurrellesLuce list includes
Saturday circulations in the daily figures. Daily newspapers
in several major cities (notably Chicago and New York) have
smaller circulation on Saturdays, usually due to decreased
newsstand sales in business areas. A few newspapers have
higher circulations on Saturdays, usually because they publish
combined editions (morning and afternoon newspapers), include
special weekend sections and are in markets with mostly home
delivery.
Among the 1,456 daily U.S. newspapers, 787 are morning editions
and 680 are afternoon, which includes 11 all-day. Total daily
circulation is 55,185,351 and Sunday circulation of 917 newspapers
is 58,494,695, according to Editor & Publisher.
