Newspaper Obituaries, Circulation, Contacts and More
According to internet research, newspaper obituaries are the most widely read section of a newspaper. No one really understands America's maudlin fascination with death, but then again, some of us don't understand why people care about sports, either.
In any case, those who enjoy newspaper obituaries should click on the link at the bottom of this page for a fascinating (and morbidly amusing) list of premature obituaries. Famous recipients include Alfred Nobel (creator of the Nobel Prize) and Marcus Garvey, whose actual death was supposedly caused by reading his own newspaper obituary. But first...
Below is a Top 50 list of United States newspapers. It includes the name of each state's largest newspaper, its web address, and each paper's average daily circulation (including Sundays), rounded off to the nearest thousand. The image shown here is a quaint little newspaper office in Iowa.
