Circulation of Church Publications

Ensign	585,000
New Era	185,000
Friend	226,000
International Magazines	185,000

At the end of 1988, the combined circulation of Church periodicals was 1,176,000. Frequently, more than one reader sees each copy of a publication, so actual readership of Church magazines may run well into the millions. The Ensign’s regular circulation is moving toward 600,000; however, in anticipation of additional demand for the January issue, which focused on the Church’s correlated curriculum for 1989, some 605,000 copies were printed.
