The only paper to increase sales year-on-year is the number two-ranked title overall – the Wall Street Journal, which was up 0.6 per cent to 2,082,189.
Among the biggest fallers were the New York Daily News (down 14 per cent to 602,857), the New York Post (down 20.6 per cent to 558,140) and the Atlanta Journal Constitution (down 20 per cent to 261,828).
