Boston Globe Print Circulation Sinks 11% to 68,806

June 28, 2022

From our Death by a Thousand Paper Cuts desk

For the past few years, the hardreading staff has unhappily tracked the knee-buckling declines in the Boston Globe’s daily print circulation, while the Boston Business Journal’s redoubtable Don Seiffert has chronicled the Globe’s halting digital subscriptions.

But we were totally unprepared for William Turvill’s piece the other day in the UK’s Press Gazette.

Top 25 US newspaper circulations: Print sales fall another 12% in 2022

Our top 25 ranking, based on figures shared by the Alliance for Audited Media (AAM), shows that The Wall Street Journal and New York Times retain the largest daily print circulations in the US.

Gannett’s USA Today keeps third place, but is close to seeing its print circulation fall below Jeff Bezos’s Washington Post.

Here’s the top part of AAM’s newspaper circulation chart.

Boston Globeniks: We’re Number 14! We’re Number 14!

Everyone else: Whiskey Tango Foxtrot.

All due respect.

Boston Globe and Herald Merge!

October 27, 2014

It’s rare to find the two local dailies on the same page, but today it’s this one:

The Boston Globe’s somewhat surprising endorsement of Charlie Baker comes one week after the Boston Herald’s entirely predictable one.

The flirty local tabloid also ran this big wet kiss alongside the endorsement.

As of today, that goes double for the stately local broadsheet. (The redoubtable Dan Kennedy helpfully compiles the Globe’s previous GOP gubernatorial flings here.)

Coakley’s response? The oldest (and lamest) dodge in the books (via USA Today):

Coakley’s campaign released a statement Sunday touting the endorsements she has received from labor groups and other organizations, while making reference to her bid for history. She is seeking to become the first woman elected governor of Massachusetts. “We know that the only endorsement that matters is the endorsement of the people of Massachusetts on Nov. 4,” said the Coakley statement in the Lowell Sun.

 

See ya next Tuesday.
