Magazines' newsstand sales cut almost in half by decade-long decline

摘要

Newsstand sales of 68 major American magazines have nearly halved in the past ten years, with women's interest and domestic magazines taking the largest hit, according to Audit Bureau of Circulations (ABC) data. The combined sales of most leading newsstand publications fell 47.5% from 22.0 million in the first six months of 2001 to 11.6 million in the first half of 2011 --with a steady 23% decline accelerating to an average 32% attrition rate in the past three years, ABC reported.
