April 25, 2020 by Karen Hill

There are about 1,800 daily newspapers in the United States, and each day 287 copies of a newspaper are sold here for every 1,000 persons.

But in Sweden, 572 copies of a daily newspaper are sold for every 1,000 persons, making the Swedes the greatest newspaper readers on earth.

The small African nation of Rwanda has a population of 10 million, more than the population of Sweden. But the total circulation of Rwanda’s only daily newspaper is just 200!
