Boston Globe Loses 6.5% Circulation in 1 Year

From Editor and Publisher, here are the latest Boston Globe circulation numbers and the numbers from six months ago:

Daily Paid Circulation -- 360,695 -- 386,417 – (-6.66%)
Sunday Paid Circulation -- 548,906 -- 587,289 – (-6.54%)

In the aggregate results for the 690 largest newspapers daily circulation was down 2.5% and Sunday down 3.5%.

The Globe has lost 6.5% of its circulation in just the last 6 months, but some parties on Morrissey Boulevard may still feel righteous about continuing to antagonize conservative readers. Surely it does not bother Pinch Sulzberger.

CORRECION: Ooops. The percentages are based on comparisons from the same period a year ago, not 6 months. Sorry.

I assume that the picture is of the Titanic. I consider the juxtaposition of this image with your evident glee over the Globe's declining circulation to be a callous treatment of the memory of Jack Dawson.

All sports columnists (except Shaughnessy) to the lifeboats!
