Print circulation

There are international open access directories such as Mondo Times,[1] but these generally rely on numbers reported by newspapers themselves.

The Times of India is the largest circulated English-language daily newspaper in the world, across all formats (Broadsheet, Compact, Berliner and Online).

In many developed countries, print circulation is falling due to social and technological changes such as the availability of news on the internet.

On the other hand, in some developing countries circulation is increasing as these factors are more than cancelled out by rising incomes, population, and literacy.

The most widely read paper in the country is the Toronto Star, which, as of the six-month period ending on March 31, 2007, averaged 634,886 copies sold on Saturday, 436,694 Monday to Friday, and 442,265 on Sunday.

[3] The second most widely read paper is Toronto-based national newspaper The Globe and Mail, which averaged 374,000 copies on Saturdays, and 303,000 Monday to Friday.

The most widely read French-language newspaper is Le Journal de Montréal, which averaged 319,899 copies on Saturday, 267,404 Monday to Friday, and 264,733 on Sunday.

Unlike in the United States, newspapers in Canada published their biggest and mostly widely read editions on Saturdays.
