Philadelphia Trumpet Circulation Falls by 3844 Issues: Lowest Since March 2011 Issue

The latest issue of PCG's Philadelphia Trumpet (November-December 2014) is now available. It has a circulation of 313,286. That is a decline of 3844 issues since the previous issue.

That is the lowest circulation for The Philadelphia Trumpet since the March 2011 issue which had a circulation of 307,097. In the April 2011 issue it rose to 315,064 and has only fallen below that number with this latest issue as is shown in the figures below.

This latest decline in circulation is part of a gradual decline in circulation that has been ongoing since the July 2013 issue which had a circulation of 335,797 but it has steadily declined ever since.

As may be seen in a previous post this current circulation figure of 313,286 is actually lower then that of the November 2003 issue which was 313,400. So after eleven years of pouring in the three tithes and offerings from PCG lay members the magazine's circulation is actually lower then it was for the November 2003 issue.

Where is all the money going?

  1. Warning: The following is a spoof!

    Yes, and for every magazine being sent out, it is not only unread by the receiver, but an average of 5 other people are not reading it.

  2. Or maybe they just read it for laughs. And talk about how bizarrely crazy this magazine is.

    And I mean they are laughing at PCG, not with them.
