WSJ chart and quote from a companion story:

Circulation at more than 700 newspapers with audited data dropped 2.6% in the six months ended Sept. 30 from a year earlier, the Audit Bureau of Circulations reported last week. That was the sharpest six-month drop since 1991. In the previous period, ended March 30, circulation fell 1.9%. Among the top 10 largest newspapers, only the third-ranked New York Times eked out an increase in average weekday circulation during the latest six months, rising 0.5% to 1,126,190.

The NYT looks very good in the chart, but that does not tell the whole story, as we have written. We will revisit this chart again, and the circulation of the NYT in its home counties, versus the Post and the Daily News, when the 10K comes out in February 2006. Stay tuned.
