'WSJ' Editor Says Newsstand Sales Up 20 Percent
Another note from this morning's "Agents of Change" panel at the Dow Jones/Nielsen Media & Money Conference. Wall Street Journal managing editor Robert Thomson mentioned that the Journal's newsstand sales are up 20 percent, but didn't provide a frame of reference for that figure. A Journal spokesman clarifies that the increase has taken place in the last few weeks, a period during which, for obvious reasons, a lot of financial-news outlets have seen huge gains. (For comparison, the Financial Times says its newsstand sales are up 30 percent, although its U.S. circulation is far smaller.) As for the Journal's official circulation figures for the six months ending Sept. 1, which will be released on Oct. 27, says the spokesman, "They haven't been finalized but I expect them to be up."
