I think there should be a distinction between paid and free circulation. Tabloids are defined as often having free circulation. If all these numbers are paid circulation, that should be noted.
What sources should be used to update circulation information (e.g. for the UK and Japan)? Are these sources using comparable criteria? NealMcB 14:08, 2004 Jul 2 (UTC)
Interesting: Wall street journal official circulation up due to on-line numbers - very close to USA today: [1] NealMcB 16:43, 2004 Jul 2 (UTC)
According to a full-page ad recently in The Economist, theyre worldwide circulation is above 1,000,000. Their format is a magazine but they call themselves a newspaper.
The publisher announced in the newspaper's 5th March 2005 issue that "the weekly global circulation of The Economist has passed the 1,000,000 mark" for the first time, with sales for July-December 2004 averaging 1,009,759 each week.

Back on 30 May 2003 this was noted, rather arbitrarily, only for five UK tabloids. Why has this not changed? We should give this information either for all of them or for none of them. -- Smjg 09:39, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
This had 3-year-old data! I've updated the US papers and put them in a separate category. There is not reason to limit this to English-language papers, either; Japanese papers whomp these figures easily. - DavidWBrooks 22:13, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
It would be nice to collect figures on newspaper market penetration in a selection of countries. Two that I know off hand are US is 53% and Ireland is 190% (meaning that the average household in Ireland buys 1.9 daily papers every day.) Anybody know any more, or know of a source for these stats?

I've redirected Magazine circulation to this article, as it is used by a {{ Infobox Magazine}} and having a redlink is awkward. As both newspapers and magazines are quite similar, being audited in the US by ABC and having comparable paid subscriber and newsstand sales breakdowns, does anyone have any objection to rewriting this article to handle both? If there is a significant difference, that would make a difference, but I'm not sure for our purposes it matters; certainly both articles would be largely identical. -- Dhartung | Talk 04:54, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

This edit looks suspicious to in the light of other edits from the same IP.
Addresses previous discussion above:
It might be best to keep these as two separate lists as combining newspapers with magazines is like mixing apples and oranges. However, the initial question is a good one. What about a general article called Print circulation with the principles and an explanation of the Audit Bureau of Circulation and pointers to Magazine and Newspaper circulation articles?

The result of the move request was: Moved to Print circulation. No such user ( talk) 08:33, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
Newspaper circulation → Print circulation – Both newspapers and magazines are quite similar. This article should handle both Delasse ( talk) 09:40, 16 July 2021 (UTC)
