ABC to Release Newspaper Circulation Figures Today
The Audit Bureau of Circulation (ABC) will release its quarterly figures on newspaper circulation today. The only questions being asked are all related to: "How far is the fall"?
The last release of figures in March showed the largest drop in circulation in nine years. Today's figures are expected to show an even bigger drop.
Some papers, such as the Chicago Tribune are releasing the figures specific to their newspaper in anticipation of the ABC report. Other publicly-traded newspaper chains have already publicized estimates of the expected drops. Knight-Ridder, for example, has already reported that its overall daily loss is 2.9%.
