Globe down 23%! Is it the price hike?

Jon Chesto says it is in a WickedLocal report.

I wonder, though. After all, if you look at the numbers in a USA Today report, you’d see that a comparable newspaper, the San Francisco Chronicle, is suffering the same kind of drubbing.

The San Francisco Chronicle’s weekday circulation fell 23% to 241,330

The Washington Post’s average weekday circulation dropped 13.1%, 478,482.

USA Today, which has the second largest circulation, declined 13.6% to 1.83 million.

The New York Times’ weekday circulation dropped 8.5% to 951,063.

Anybody see the Herald numbers?
