Circulation
As a regional morning newspaper, The Journal Gazette has been more successful than many newspapers in minimizing the circulation drop affecting most big daily newspapers. Since 1981 circulation has been essentially flat from 57,000 to a current Audit Bureau of Circulation average daily circulation of 56,187. However, part of what the Journal Gazette includes as weekly circulation was the result of the newspaper including delivery of a Thursday, Friday, and Saturday newspaper with every "Sunday-only" subscription.
Since Sunday is payday for newspaper publishers, The Journal Gazette's Sunday ABC reported circulation of 102,861 is especially lucrative. It is a drastic drop, though, of nearly 24,000 Sunday subscribers from just a few years ago.
Perhaps as an illustration of the effects of declining circulation for 2011, The Journal-Gazette broke its long-standing tradition of hosting a Christmas reception at the Fort Wayne Country Club.
Of all Indiana newspapers, only The Indianapolis Star has a larger Sunday circulation.
The Journal-Gazette is one of the larger newspapers in the United States to have never been owned by a newspaper chain.

Famous quotes containing the word circulation:
“There is probably not more than one hundred dollars in cash in circulation today. That is, if you were to call in all the bills and silver and gold in the country at noon tomorrow and pile them on the table, you would find that you had just about one hundred dollars, with perhaps several Canadian pennies and a few peppermint Life Savers.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
“Thought reading is like the circulation of the blood. We are all thought readers only we don’t pay attention to it.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
“Tourism, human circulation considered as consumption ... is fundamentally nothing more than the leisure of going to see what has become banal.”
—Guy Debord (b. 1931)
