That's still 12 pages more than it will be in a couple years.

ReplyDeleteSpeaking of Florida Today. Maybe the EE will save the paper with "lifestreaming conversation" or an iPad app.

Cincinnati Enquirer 20 pages . A day after Barry Larkin makes it into the Baseball Hall of Fame
ReplyDeleteDon't know how old the circ. stats are but they're not quite that high now. Plus, they are the numbers of copies PRINTED, NOT what is sold...although mgmt. has been known for it's creative accounting for quite some time.
ReplyDeleteAnd just like in Cincinnati, I've noticed lately that Florida Today is lacking original editorials. Today's column by Matt Reed is the first new local quasi-editorial in some time. Last week they were printing recycled USA TODAY editorials.

ReplyDeleteTwenty pages? For a paper with a couple of hundred thousand circulation and Larkin going into the hall? Sports section should have at least been twelve with some type of commemoration package that outlined his career, career stats. Great moments etc. etc.
Wait, you're telling me the Cincy Enquirer had 20 pages today? In the entire paper? That's really hard to believe. Here in Minneapolis, the Star Tribune had 40.
ReplyDeleteCouple hundred thousand 4:06, try just over 140,000 midweek according to numbers Jim only recently shared (http://tinyurl.com/7ezpg6e).
ReplyDeleteYet, Buchanan’s still allowed to lead. Twenty pages further reinforces why she should not.

ReplyDelete32 in The Times (Shreveport, La.), three sections. But we did have a big football game Monday night.
ReplyDeleteNo way Florida Today is 85K on Sunday. Those must include the 30K they haul to the landfill immediately after they're printed. Will the EE keep his job when the new publisher is named? That the real mystery here now.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know what the press run is at FT?
ReplyDelete26 pages in Green Bay today.
ReplyDeleteCounted with great interest the pages of the A section of the thin Florida Today daily offering. 6 pages and not a lot of meat on any of them.
ReplyDeleteWhile we are counting, how about the total of 3 ads in that section, including the 1A low banner. Total was less than a half a page of advertising.
Although I applaud more content vs. ads, they still have to make money, and I don't think today was one of those days.

ReplyDeleteJust because I work for the paper doesn't mean I read it...Geez Jim
ReplyDeleteMost day the Enquirer is no more the 20 during the week on Mon,Tue Wed Thu- Fri Sat are a bit Bigger.
ReplyDeleteFt Myers: 36 Tuesday. 44 plus a boatload of preprints on Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteFt. Myers has implemented a minimum page count.
DeleteSometimes the Enquirer is so small that my deliveryperson has to get out of his van after tossing the paper toward my front yard. The paper never made it, but landed in the gutter. "Maybe, I should wrap it in a brick," he said when one of his tosses failed.

ReplyDeleteI'd love to go back 15 years and look at each of these papers for the second Tuesday in January 1997, and see how many pages they had then.
ReplyDeleteHow can the Newark paper have .... 23? How does that work?
ReplyDeleteOne page is blank? Oh wait, it is Newark... one of THOSE Ohio papers...
Never mind... a 23-page paper is not only possible but highly likely.
So sad.
Oshkosh, Wis. Northwestern 16 pages, scant on real ads, advice page in the A section. A 10-minute read, tops.
ReplyDeleteReinan and 10:49 are two of THOSE posters.
ReplyDeleteReinan, we wish you would go back to 1997. And stay.
If you don’t sell more ads, you can’t have any more news pages.
ReplyDeletehow can you
have more ads if you don’t invest more in news?
All in all Gannett’s screwing up them all.

9:54 am...I've been delivering since the mid 90's and I can tell you back then, Monday was the thinnest paper. Tuesday wasn't great but better...more like our Wed. is now.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the much needed laugh, 2:24.
ReplyDeleteCourier News, Somerville NJ:

Tuesday -- 22 pages in 3 sections

ReplyDeleteSlow news day at Florida Today, lead story on website is, "Twinkies maker Hostess faces bankruptcy again". Now, if we had a Hostess bakery in the area, I might see where this is an important story. We don't.
ReplyDeletebe thankful you got that, and with the subscription cost going up (Sunday $1.50 to $3.00) its only going to get worse
DeleteThe real problem with Florida Today is that there is very little real news. NO investigative reporting. All the writing staff is gone. Instead of sharp news stories about NASA layoffs, the paper puts stories about NASA lacking diversity on page 1. There should be a section showing every empty business window in the county, instead, stories about how people laid off are "enjoying" new hobbies.
ReplyDelete28 pages and not much on them. $1.00 Gee, I have a great idea / suggestion for Gannett... listen, not as many subscribers read the paper every day but people still love their morning coffee at Starbucks and MacDonalds...I go through the 'drive-thru' to get my senior cup of coffee and I would love to be able to order a paper too...especially on the way to work or class. Why doesn't Gannett get with these types of cafes and advertise they can pick theirs up at the drive-thru window and give them a nickel a copy or donate it to their charities. That way, their drive-thru could offer their customers the opportunity to purchase it conveniently. Hope that helps.
ReplyDelete85k Sunday Circ? Come on. 500k total population. 2-3 people per household = 166k to 250k households.
ReplyDeleteThat would 34% to 51% of all households get the papers. If that were true, couriers would actually still be breaking even.
