On November 9th 2006, The Metro Newspaper gets listed into the "Guinness Book of World Records" for being the largest Global Newspaper with 70 editions worldwide and more than 18.5 million daily readers.
Are you aware the Inquirer & Daily News may go on strike Tuesday at midnight leaving the Philadelphia Metro as the ONLY daily newspaper here in Philly? The Newspaper Guild of Greater Philadelphia has overwhelmingly voted to strike. They represent a wide variety of newspaper employees - reporters, photographers, artists, editors, accountants, internal auditors, administrators, support staff and advertising sales and circulation customer service representatives at The Inquirer and Daily News. The key issues are a proposal to freeze contributions to the Guild's pension plan and take over control of the pension fund, and a demand that the company be able to lay off employees without regard to seniority.
If the strike takes place, the Philadelphia Metro will increase it's circulation to meet the city's demand for a daily newspaper.
Day after day, the staff of the Philadelphia Metro meets the challenge of delivering news and information to more than 300,000 area residents. Given the recent news surrounding the uncertainty of the Philadelphia Inquirer and Daily News, as well as the general concern in the newspaper industry, we believe it is important to share some important developments at Metro, as well as some other information that you will find useful:
This has been Metro Philadelphia?s best year yet! Through the first six months of the year, Metro Philadelphia experienced unprecedented growth, culminating with more than 22% year-over-year growth in July 2006. It?s pretty simple: our revenue is growing because our advertisers know that our combination of compelling news and high impact distribution works. The Philadelphia Inquirer, daily circulation fell 7.5% to 330,622 while Sunday declined 4.5% to 682,214. Daily circulation at its sister pub, The Philadelphia Daily News, dropped 7% to 112,540.
We are the No. 1 paper in the city of Philadelphia! When you want your message in front of upwardly-mobile decision makers with disposable income in the city of Philadelphia, Metro has to be your first choice. According to Scarborough, Metro is read by more people in the city of Philadelphia than any other weekday paper. And, because it only takes about 20 minutes to read, research shows that every page in Metro is read which guarantees maximum exposure for your message.
We are not going anywhere! Metro Philadelphia is the first US edition published by a global newspaper company that has quietly become the world?s largest! Every day, we reach more than 19 million readers worldwide in 93 cities. Our increasing circulation and readership, young professional audience, and unique format confirm that Metro is the future of newspapers.
Our total commitment to you is reflected in everything we do. From our first-rate news team, to our dedicated distribution staff and our outstanding group of sales professionals, we?ve pledged to work harder than ever before. As the rest of the newspaper industry struggles, we thrive.
The good news is, you are the one who benefits.
