CIRCULATION UP AT WSJ ASIA

The Wall Street Journal Asia recorded a 6.3 per cent jump in its average daily circulation in the first half of 2009 compared to the same period last year.
Growth has come from what publishers Dow Jones & Co say was a:".. substantial increase in subscriptions, with particularly significant growth in Hong Kong, India, Malaysia and Taiwan."
During the first six month of this year the newspaper's average daily circulation stood at 85,822 copies. More than 60,000 copies form part of what are described as "paid sponsored single copy subscriptions" and "regular bulk sales".
The most recent breakdown for Thailand, which covers the period from July to December 2008, showed a circulation of 6,227 copies per day. This was more than 24 per cent down on the previous six month period. Hong Kong, Singapore and Japan represent the newspapers' largest markets.
The Wall Street Journal Asia has its circulation independently audited by the Hong Kong Audit Bureau of Circulations.
