The Audit Bureau of Circulation released data today portraying two very different pictures of newspaper distribution in the U.S. and Canada.
In the U.S. the circulation decline was seven per cent, with all but two of the top 25 papers expressing a drop in sales.
In Canada, meanwhile, there were several bright spots in Quebec, British Columbia, Alberta and Nova Scotia.
Overall in Canada the picture was markedly better than that of the U.S., even though the Toronto-based newspapers experienced declines.
