The Nation's
Top 100 Newspapers
Here are the nation's largest newspapers based on circulation with links to their websites. Nearly all except the Wall Street Journal offer free access to articles on their websites and nearly every newspaper has seen circulation decline over the past few years.
Both the Rocky Mountain News and Seattle Post-Intelligencer stopped printing in 2009.
