I’ve been following newspaper circulation stats for a few years now. At this point, my big takeaway is that they rejigger the circulation formula so often that any “trend” a layperson spots is as likely to be an artifact of the rejiggering as something real.
Total print and digital circulation was 79,958 Sunday and 74,563 daily. Circulation totals measure paid or verified newspapers delivered and purchased and digital subscriptions.
Sunday circulation declined by 8.8 percent and daily circulation by 9.9 percent. Nearly 60 percent of the Sunday decline and nearly half the daily decline resulted from ABC rules changes on digital access and included the T&G’s early adoption of more stringent ABC requirements before the new rules went into effect, said Tony Simollardes, T&G director of readership and circulation.
Fueled largely by increases in digital circulation and branded editions, daily circulation for the 618 newspapers reporting comparable multiday averages rose .68 percent.
T&G daily circulation stats:
There’s an interesting case to be made that focusing on raw numbers in the information economy is only one option, and perhaps not the most fun option. It’s definitely the business the T&G is in, though.

508 is a show about Worcester. This week we talk a lot about the Worcester VegFest and the local competitive beer pong scene, too much about the Tea Party and the Forts kid, and just the right amount about the police chief’s Twitter account.

Pleasant & Russell, Worcester.
Written by James K. Baxter, 1958.
When His tears ran down like blood
I was sleeping in my clothesWhen they struck Him with a reed
I cracked a very clever jokeWhen they gave Him a shirt of blood
I praised the colour of her dressAll the way up the hill
We were laughing fit to killWhen they were driving in the nails
I listened to the steel guitarWhen they gave Him gall to drink
We were sipping the same glassWhen He cried aloud in pain
We were playing JudasesWhen the ground began to shake
We pulled up the coverletClean confessed and comforted
To the midnight mass I comeYou who died in pain alone
Break my heart break my heart
Deus sine termino.

If you were involved in Worcester’s opposition to the Iraq War, please attend this discussion of local anti-war activities 2003-2009. Portions may be videotaped. 52 Mason St, Worcester, MA. April 26, 2012, 7:30pm.
Today begins Holy Week, known to me as “a grand liturgical celebration,” known to many children as “the week we spend too much time in church.”
Here’s the schedule for St. Peter’s & St. Andrew’s in Worcester, which I am posting as much for my own reference as anything else.
Holy Thursday: 7pm mass at St. Peter’s. The big multi-lingual mass. Afterwards, eucharistic adoration at both St. Peter’s and St. Andrew’s, then visiting 7 other churches as a parish.
Good Friday: Separate from the parish, the SS. Francis & Therese Catholic worker will have their annual “contemporary” stations of the cross, gathering at 52 Mason St at 11:30am. “Join us in a walk to reflect on contemporary examples of Christ’s suffering. Soup and bread to follow.”
On the parish level, stations of the cross inside St. Peter’s at noon, followed by outdoor stations beginning at St. Peter’s School at 2pm.
7pm liturgy at St. Andrew’s.
Holy Saturday: Easter Vigil mass 7.30pm at St. Peter’s.
Easter Sunday: Regular mass schedule, including 11:30am African mass at St. Andrew’s.
508 is a show about Worcester. This week’s panel is Brendan Melican and the man the T&G called “Worcester’s most-traveled, most-jailed, and most notorious political radical since Abbie Hoffman,” Scott Schaeffer-Duffy.
