Publishers Do Not Disclose Circulation Figures In Advertising
A reprint of exchange observations argues major papers avoid publishing circulation data to prevent dishonest competitors from making inflated claims. It cites Scientific American and Harper papers, New York Herald, Brooklyn Eagle, and foreign language presses, noting advertisers rely on reputation and direct evidence rather than affidavits. Court cases in England and Troy illustrate the risk and folly of trusting circulation claims.
