Celebrity Weekly Death Match: You're Touching 'In Touch'
Today's Times has a report on the intense competition amongst the celebrity weeklies, which are a stark contrast to the otherwise festering circulation figures for newsweeklies and men's magazines. The figures, taken since the first half of 2004:
In Touch
Circulation: Up 49.7% to 1.12 million
Newsstands: Up 49.8% to 1.09 million
Us Weekly
Circulation: Up 23.9% to 1.67 million
Newsstands: Up 32.6% to 989,011
Star
Circulation: Up 20.9% to 1.43 million
Newsstands: Down 4% to 879,356
