The numbers provided by the source are not based on reported readers, but have been calculated. The readership is based on the daily reach (as reported by the survey respondents) which was then multiplied against the Belgian population (one respondent equaled 983 Belgian residents).

Average readership per issue of daily newspapers in Belgium 2017-2019
Belgian newspaper circulation, either physically or digitally, was highest for Flemish newspapers in 2019. For example, a copy of Dutch-language daily newspaper De Standaard was read by roughly ** people, more than twice the number of people reached by French-language daily La Dernière Heure/Les Sports. This should not come as a surprise as Flanders overall has a larger population than Wallonia.
