Other forms: newsstands
A newsstand is the street stall where papers and magazines are sold. Buy it at the newsstand, the corner newsstand, newsstand sales.
Newsstand sales are counted separately from subscriptions in circulation figures, because they measure impulse rather than habit — which is why cover design mattered so much. They have thinned out everywhere as print circulation has fallen.
