Nationally:

For the six months ended March 31, average daily paid circulation fell 5.2 percent in Massachusetts from the same period a year earlier, and 2.1 percent nationally, according to data reported yesterday by the Audit Bureau of Circulations, an independent monitor of newspaper circulation.

Holy cow:

At the Telegram & Gazette of Worcester, daily circulation fell 11.6 percent, to 84,754, based on a six-day average.

Speaking of news gathering, Larry Cirignano was back at the Worcester courthouse this morning with his lawyer. I ran into an old friend on Main Street, and got to the courthouse just as reporter Ethan Jacobs, who’s been following the case closely, was emerging. So no news from me, but Ethan should be posting something at Bay Windows soon.
