How big is the circulation of the paper the man work for?

W:What’s the biggest difference between local and national papers?
M:A local paper circulates only in a particular area. They always have small circulations,sometimes only 2,000.
W:Now, you work for a local paper, don’t you? How big is its circulation?
M:It’s about 28,000.
W:Oh, not bad. What about the national papers?
M:They can have huge circulations, four million, even eight million.
W:But The Times and The Guardian, they have much smaller circulations.
M:Yes, but they are what we call "quality paper". They’re different.
W:How are they different?
M:Well, first of all, there’s a big difference in the sort of readers the two papers get. They’ll give you adifferent angle to the news.
W:How will they treat it differently?
M:I remember an example. Last year an examiner refused to give a girl a driving test, because he thoughther skirt was too short.
W:Yes?
M:In one of the popular papers, The Daily Mirror in fact, this was on the front page, eight para graphs, with a picture of the girl. But in one quality paper, The Daily Telegraph, the same story was on a back page and only two paragraphs and a photo about it.
W:That’s really different.
