Today's issue of The New York Times is sold out everywhere in New York City. And I do mean everywhere. I visited over 9 different newsstands, bodegas and any other place that might sell papers and they were completely sold out, in addition to many other dailies. City Room reports:
A Times spokeswoman, Catherine J. Mathis, said on Wednesday morning that the paper had printed 35 percent more papers in the “single copy” print run, which supplies newsstands. Still, by morning company officials found that papers were “selling out all across the metropolitan area” and decided to print 50,000 more copies for sale in the New York area.
The paper also reported a record-high 2.7 million “mobile page views” for Tuesday.
In the afternoon, customers were still lining up to buy the paper from a delivery truck outside Times headquarters at 40th Street and Eighth Avenue in Manhattan.
