In 2012 Canada's daily newspaper circulation (paid and free) stood at 6,011,066 copies on an average publishing day and 35,964,745 copies over the course of a week.
Each year, Newspapers Canada produces a Circulation Data Report for daily newspapers. The report calculates paid and free circulation levels based on ABC, CMCA, CCAB or owner-provided data and provides analysis based on the average number of copies sold per publishing day (traditional method) and the total number of copies sold per week or customer cycle (neo-traditional method).
