Ryan Sager posts up the list of the 25 highest circulation newspapers in the country with the last year's change noted on the right. I knew USA Today was the top paper in the country, but I didn't realize it had more than double the readers of the New York Times. And the New York Post has no surpassed The Washington Post, further signaling the death of civilization. One caveat: These are the print numbers, and it'd be interesting to see how they change if web visits are recorded. Such readers may not do much for the bottom line, but they're readers nonetheless. I got the Times traffic numbers from their site, and depending on which metric you go by (Nielsen or internals), they got either 11 million or 21 million unique visitors in April, which certainly changes how the following circulation numbers look. In any case, for those interested in the dead tree data, the numbers are below the fold.
