Sales of magazines at newsstands and other retail outlets in the U.S. dropped 9 percent, the second half of 2009.  That's actually a slight improvement from the 12 percent year-over-year decline in the first half of the year, according to the Audit Bureau of Circulations. Newsstand and other single-copy retail sales are important for publishers because they charge more per copy than they do for
subscriptions.  Along with the tough economy, the Bureau says consumers have plenty of free reading alternatives available online.
