Magazines Will Change How They Measure Their Audience for Advertisers

“The Magazine Publishers of America will propose new metrics designed to convert buyers over the next couple of years to an audience-based model from one based on circulation.”

“…yardstick to measure reader exposure to magazines on an issue-specific basis, broken out by key demographics like age, gender and income; issue-specific engagement with ads based on recall of specific ads; and self-reported consumer purchase intent and action taken as a result of an ad.”

    I think it’s pretty clear that the metrics used have been questionable at best. Pass-through readership is a joke. From the article, it doesn’t sound like that is going to change. I don’t know if online surveys will be helpful either.

    say that out loud. It’s pretty funny that someone actually wrote something like that.
