NEW YORK, Oct. 31 (UPI) -- Fewer and fewer people are paying to read U.S. newspapers, an industry group said Tuesday.

The Audit Bureau of Circulations says that during the six months ending Sept. 30 the circulation of the nation's daily newspapers plunged an average of 2.8 percent, the New York Times reported. That's the worst decline in at least 15 years. Sunday edition circulation fell even more, 3.4 percent.

The Los Angeles Times lost 8 percent of its daily circulation, The Boston Globe 6.7 percent, The New York Times and The Washington Post both 3.5 and The Wall Street Journal less than 2 percent.

One exception was The New York Post, which increased circulation to pass local rival The Daily News by about 10,000 daily copies.
