What are the most popular newspapers in the UK?

Answer 1

In the USA, some of the most popular newspapers are... The Wall Street Journal The New York Times The Chicago Tribune Kansas City Star Boston Globe USA Today I am not familiar with west coast papers. Can someone else add more? Thought I might add my bit. I did find this website ( http://www.thepaperboy.com/usa-top-100-newspapers.cfm) it claims to have a list of the most popular papers in the US in 1999. I don't imagine that the list has changed much though. It sites the Audit Bureau of Circulations as it's source. This second site seems to be a subscription only resource for those in the paper business. I will say that having grown up on the west coast, I am familiar with The Los Angeles Times, The Oregonian, and The Seattle Times. I am not sure how popular they are, but I don't think that I would be so familiar with them, if they didn't have a large readership and circulation.
