Aided by Paywalls, Newspapers Halt Circulation Declines
Wall Street Journal Remains No. 1 Across Platforms
Deadline – by DAVID LIEBERMAN, Executive Editor

Newspapers’ weekday circulation edged up 0.7% in numbers released Tuesday, while Sunday circulation leapt 5%.

The figures, from the Audit Bureau of Circulations, show that digital paywall strategies have helped newspapers counter years of grinding declines in paid-print circulation.

Nuances in the reporting rules, however, mean that not every unit of additional circulation reflects a new reader. A newspaper can count paying readers twice if, for example, they read both the print edition and a gated digital version.

Digital gains were most clear at The New York Times, where weekday circulation over the six months ending in March averaged nearly 1.6 million. That’s up 73% year-over-year, before the Times’ online pay meter took effect.
