More tough news for The Baltimore Sun. For the six months ending September 2009, daily circulation dropped 14.6 percent to 186,639. Sunday circulation fared a bit better, dropping only 8 percent to 322,491. Nationally, newspaper circulation dropped 10.6 percent, as the industry continues to search for ways to increase readership and/or revenue.

In April, The Sun endured a brutal round of layoffs detailed in our September cover story.
