'WSJ,' 'USA Today' Buck Declining Circ Trend

America's two biggest newspapers managed to tread water, but just about everyone else showed signs of sinking in the most recent release of numbers from the Audit Bureau of Circulations.

USA Today and The Wall Street Journal, No. 1 and 2, respectively, in weekday circulation, were both up by less than 1 percent for the six months ending March 31. But after that, it gets ugly. Every other paper in the top 15 lost circulation, with the Dallas Morning News breaking the double-digit mark. (Its weekday average was 368,313, down 10.6 percent year-over-year.)

Below are the numbers released this morning; Editor & Publisher has more here.
