Never one to boast, the ever-modest New York Daily News has issued an understated response to the latest circ figures which (according to the DN, who fails to provide the actual figures) conclusively demonstrate that the Mort Zuckerman owned tabloid has “strengthened its position as the true voice of New York.” And that’s not all!

For the stunning 16th year, the Daily News reigns as the largest circulated daily newspaper in the New York metropolitan area, in figures published by the Audit Bureau of Circulations (ABC).

Proving that quality journalism will always win, the Daily News reclaimed its position as the fifth-largest newspaper in the country - reaffirming our belief that we provide the BEST local coverage of the world’s greatest city.

And we couldn’t agree more with their mode reasoning. If, however, the above writing is any indication of the quality journalism we can expect from the 16th annual circ leader, we’ll be picking up the New York Post the next time we’ve got half hour to kill on public transportation.
