Supplementary notes

*Figures for 2014 to 2024 include paid and verified circulation of the newspaper in print only. In The New York Times' 2013 Annual Report, the company presented its weekday circulation figure thus:
'For the fiscal year ended December 29, 2013, The Times’s average circulation, which includes paid and verified circulation of the newspaper in print, online and through other digital platforms, was 1,926,800 for weekday (Mon. - Fri.)'.
A notable drop can be seen between 2013 and 2014. Whilst The New York Times does not give a precise explanation for why its reporting changed, the 2014 Annual Report simply states:
'For the fiscal year ended December 28, 2014, The Times’s average print circulation (which includes paid and qualified circulation of the newspaper in print) was approximately 648,900 for weekday (Monday to Friday)', thus omitting 'paid and verified circulation online and on other digital platforms' as referred to in the 2013 report and all preceding reports.
Figures prior to that given for the current year come from previous reports.
