Metro keeps rolling along

On Gaceta de Prensa: Distributing almost 7 million copies a day after recent expansions, Metro continues to drive the free paper craze and is becoming significantly more profitable. Having launched 11 new editions in 5 countries over the last trimester, Metro International saw its sales jump 28% on the same period last year. It's profits jumped to almost Euro 6 million from well under 400,000 last year. Six of its sixteen national divisions declared profits. As it's local papers continue to expand and it branches out into other ventures (see previous posting), it will surely not deviate from the successful trail it is blazing.
