to complicate things further, the Nikkei in Japan claims a circulation of 3 million, and the Nikkei article claims that it is the largest in the world, making the WSJ 2nd (note that the WSJ article does not currently claim to be 1st), and so both the FT and the ET claims would be wrong.—Precedingunsigned comment added byElisabethod (talk •contribs)16:56, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

which had simply been updated to

with no additional sources cited.
I have tried to find more recent, verifiable metrics (the New Yorker article itself does not provide any primary sources for its own claims) but have not had luck finding any reliable sources.
This section really needs to be rewritten by someone who has experience in this space, or perhaps removed altogether (I don't feel like I have the experience required to make that call as I am very new to the wiki-edit space).— Precedingunsigned comment added byAudr3y-Dr1tt3 (talk •contribs)03:25, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank youAudr3y-Dr1tt3 for noticing and reverting the unsourced change. I also had trouble finding an updated readership estimate. I did find another source from 2012 (The Caravan) that used the 800,000 number, so I added a citation to that article. There's still no indication of the primary source, unfortunately. I also added theAudit Bureau of Circulations's estimatedcirculation for July–December 2022 to the lead. Readership and circulation are different measurements (readership can be higher than circulation), so I left both numbers for the time being. I don't usually edit Wikipedia articles about newspapers, but both statistics seem useful for understandingThe Economic Times' historical readership/circulation, even if they're 13 and 2.5 years out-of-date, respectively. Of course, if anyone can find updated, reliable statistics, that would be very helpful.PrinceTortoise (he/him •poke)01:18, 17 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
