More on LAT numbers

Several readers offering their thoughts on an earlier post about the paper's circulation decline wonder how it compares with other big dailies. It's a good point - most all the major metro papers have seen substantial slippage since 1998. But based on a quick survey, I couldn't find any with as precipitous drop in circulation (though the Washington Post has taken a pretty big hit).
