Tampa Bay Times circulation rises in daily edition, falls slightly on Sundays
The Tampa Bay Times saw circulation rise 30 percent for its daily paper and dip 6 percent for its Sunday edition in figures released by the Audit Bureau of Circulations for the previous six months ending Sept. 30.
In the same figures, national data showed a rise in digital subscriptions, with about 15 percent of subscriptions in that category, compared to less than 10 percent last year. The biggest daily newspaper nationally remains the Wall Street Journal at 2.3 million, a rise of about 15 percent from the year before.
According to Poynter, the ABC is discouraging from drawing too many conclusions from the figures, because there are so many changes in how digital, print and branded subscriptions are counted or how different papers choose to tabulate them.
For example, much of the Tampa Bay Times daily subscriber gain comes from counting editions of the free tabloid *tbt.
