There’s no really good way to spin these numbers: the National Post‘s paid weekday print circulation declined 20.22% between 2008 and 2009, and their paid weekend circulation dropped 18.8%—to 159,089 and 170,021 copies, respectively—according to Media in Canada. While the circulations of the vast majority of the States’ top daily papers are declining, few are falling as dramatically, and only one of the top twenty-five papers’ weekday circulation there fell by more than the National Post‘s: the New York Post.
