Newsday continues to slide

The latest Audit Bureau of Circulations (ABC) audit of Newsday shows circulation decline of 8.8% to 439,708.

This is the kicker, though.

If Newsday had made the March 2005 FAS-FAX it would be the country's 12th largest paper in terms of daily circ falling below the Arizona Republic in Phoenix (daily circ, 452,016) and above The Boston Globe (daily circ 434,330).

Just imagine how many papers would sell in Boston if they had something other than another New York Times clone.
