List of newspapers in the World by circulation
|
This is a list of the top 100 newspapers in the world by average circulation.[1] These figures are compiled by the World Association of Newspapers, in 2005, and represent each paper's average circulation of the year. Some newspapers in some countries did not submit their figures to the independent International Federation of Audit Bureaux of Circulations. In those cases, figures were provided by the publishers themselves or other sources.
Out of the 215 countries and regions, People's Republic of China is the country with the largest numbers of newspaper by average circulation in the top 100, with 23 on the list. Japan comes in second place with 22. [2]
