Newspaper circulation down

Circulation Down in Texas Newspapers

The Dallas Morning News saw daily circulation drop 22 percent in the last six months.

The Houston Chronicle lost 14.2 percent of its daily circulation and 6.3 percent of its Sunday circulation in the six-month period ending Sept. 30, 2009, compared with the same six months in 2008, according to Audit Bureau of Circulation (ABC) figures. The Houston Chronicle retains the ninth-best daily circulation and seventh-best Sunday circulation among the Top 25 U.S. Daily Newspapers, according to the ABC.

Hardest-hit during the period was the San Francisco Chronicle, which lost 25.8 percent of its daily readership, followed by the Newark (N.J.) Star-Ledger saw daily circulation drop 22 percent.
