Foreign Affairs at Highest Print Circ

Foreign Affairs Doing Just Fine in Print, Thank You:  
Foreign Affairs, the bimonthly magazine on American foreign policy published by the Council on Foreign Relations, is now at its highest print circ since launching more than 90 years ago. Citing second-half 2012 Alliance for Audited Media numbers, its total readership, which includes subscribers, sold newsstand copies and a small portion of non-paid circ, is at 163,000—10 percent higher than the prior year.
The growth, says the Council, comes on the heels of a 30 percent increase in cover price, from $9.95 to $12.99. According to the International Periodical Distributors Association, the magazine's 31,584 single-copy sales grew 22 percent in 2012 following the price increase.
