The Audit Bureau of Circulations is coming out with its report on
newspaper popularity (what else should we call sales) and it’s going to
be bad. The Wall Street Journal (free link) sums up the numbers:
: Gannett down 2.5 percent
: Knight Ridder down 2.9 percent
: Tribune Company down 4 percent (not including scandal-scarred Newsday)
More numbers from E&P:
:
“McClatchy is breaking its 20-year winning streak this period. Daily
circulation dropped around 1% while there was a “steeper decline” on
Sunday.”
: Knight Ridder’s breakdown: down 2 percent daily, 3.5 percent Sunday.
: Belo’s Dallas Morning News: down 7 percent.
: Providence Journal down 2 percent.
: Riverside Press-Enterprise down 3 percent daily, 4 percent Sunday.
: Boston Globe down 7.7 percent daily, 7 percent Sunday.
: NYTimes up 0.4 percent daily, 0.1 percent Sunday. “The increases came
mostly from the paper’s national effort. Circulation for the New York
City area declined.

| Your Birthdate: February 2 |
You’re so intuitive, it’s like you have a sixth, seventh, and eighth sense.
You connect with others freely and easily – and you tend to have many best friends.
Warm and caring, it’s hard for you to close your heart to anyone.
Affection is like air for you – you need to give and receive it to survive.
Your strength: Your universal compassion
Your weakness: Your unpredictable mood swings
Your power color: Mauve
Your power symbol: Butterfly
Your power month: February |
Mood swings? varies. Compassion? I can have a very hard heart at times, depending on the situation. I am fond of affection, and am fairly intuitive. I don’t have many best friends, but am a friendly guy.

Didn’t hang with anyone last night, just flew solo. No calls from Wendy, Liz or the hippies… walkabout was fun, regardless. Chicken Little was cute, but not worth a matinée… more of a Netflix rental.
