What Is the Most Read Newspaper in the World?

July 8, 2020 by Karen Hill

Right now, there are more than 7,000 newspapers published around the world, and about a quarter of them are American papers. Each day, Americans buy some 61 million copies of their favorite papers!

The largest-selling paper in the United States is the New York Daily News, which sells about two million copies each day. The Wall Street Journal is second, with about 1.5 million copies sold daily. The Los Angeles Times is third, and the New York Times is fourth.

But of all the newspapers in the world, a Russian paper called Pravda has the largest circulation. About ten million copies of this newspaper are printed each day!

Sixty years ago there were more papers in America than there are today, 2,461 compared to 1,759 today!
