Doesn't surprise, considering it is the Times group. Their reporting, while good in several cases, is highly opinionated and unsubstantiated/lacking research in others. Their gaming and tech coverage is usually cringe inducing. Whats tragic is that they are the most read newspaper in the country.

According to Wikipedia, the WSJ and USA Today beat the NYT.

Though if that excludes online views, the NYT may indeed be #1 (quite possibly their paywall will nuke this, however).

I'm referring to the Times of India group, and I was referring to India. Sorry about the mix up that caused. :)

The Times of India is the largest circulated English-language daily newspaper in the world, across all formats (Broadsheet, Compact, Berliner and Online)

I always assumed that WSJ appealed only to business and finance types who needed it for work. I'm surprised that the WSJ is that well circulated, does this mean that it has broad appeal? Or is it that the WSJ can be expensed to the a firm, driving up its circulation?

My bad. I read the article with readability and by the time I was done, I forgot where it came from.

I suspect the popularity of the WSJ is due mainly to the fact that WSJ demographics are more likely to buy a subscription than NYT demographics.
