The Boston Globe: Still Read by More People Than Your Quirky Cat Instagram Account (Probably)
The Boston Globe, a newspaper that's practically seen it all - from revolutionary whispers to the rise of the dunkin' (don't you dare call it Dunkin'). But hey, with the ever-growing digital age, you might be wondering: how many folks are actually reading the Globe these days?
Print Ain't Dead (Just a Little Less Fresh)
While folks might not be lining up at newsstands like in the good ol' days, the Globe's print circulation is holding steady at around 65,000 copies on weekdays. That's enough to wrap around Fenway Park a few times (and maybe even snag a foul ball...we can dream, right?).
However, print ain't the only game in town anymore. The Globe's got a thriving digital presence, boasting over 245,000 digital-only subscribers. That's a whole lotta people getting their Boston news fix online!
So, add it all up, and you're looking at a total circulation of around 310,000 on weekdays and a whopping 360,000 on Sundays. Not too shabby for a newspaper that's been around since the days of telegrams and horse-drawn carriages.
Fun Fact: Print vs. Digital Dollars
Here's a little insider baseball: even though there are more digital subscribers, print subscriptions still bring in more cash for the Globe. Apparently, there's something about the rustling of fresh newsprint that advertisers can't resist (or maybe they just like the smell of ink?).
But hey, the future is digital, baby! The Globe's clearly embracing the change, and who knows, maybe they'll even start a TikTok account where they reenact historical events with questionable dance moves (hey, it could work!).
