U.s. Newspapers | featured news

The Washington Post is closing its last U.S. bureaus outside the nation's capital as the money-losing newspaper retrenches to focus on politics and local news.

USA Today suffered a steep drop, losing the top spot in weekday circulation for the first time since the 1990s to The Wall Street Journal. The New York Times’ weekday circulation fell 7.3 percent.

Newsday will become one of a handful of U.S. newspapers to charge readers for access to its Web site, in what may be a sign of things to come for a troubled industry.
