The ABCs of Circulation

Want your story in the top papers? The media list was a little unclear this month when the Audit Bureau of Circulation (ABC) released its report for the six months ended March
31 - and then issued a revised list with corrected figures for 97 papers. The latest list shows USA Today in the No. 1 slot, well ahead of The Wall Street Journal and The New York
Times (in second and third place, respectively). The bad news - ABC officials say most papers saw flat or declining circulation, including USA Today, which saw circulation slip
3.4 percent. The top 20:
