*** In August 2004, National Geographic began to report their international circulation separately. This number represents domestic circulation on a going forward basis.
Sources: Averages calculated by the MPA from Audit Bureau of Circulations statements for the first and second six months of each year. Domestic titles audited by ABC; Annuals, international editions and comics have been excluded. Totals may not add exactly, due to rounding of averaged numbers.
