I’ve added June numbers to my list of top newspapers on Facebook.
The top 10 papers did not change, but there was some movement just outside the top 10. The Honolulu Star-Advertiser grew by 26.3% and jumped from No. 14 to No. 12. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch grew by 45.9% and jumped from No. 28 to No. 17 (possibly because of a Katy Perry ticket giveaway because of a $500 gas card giveaway).
