Measuring the total audience of magazine brands across platforms From measuring print towards measuring reading
Not magazines, but brands • Publishers are nowadays delivering their content on different platforms, not only on paper. • They ask providers of audience data to report audiences of their total footprint, not only readership of paper editions. • Different countries are looking for different solutions - there is no universally accepted solution yet; cultural differences and differences in audience research and media planning traditions play an important role.
2
What is the goal? • Overall there are two possible goals: – Promotion of brands / magazines – Mediaplanning
Promotion: – Example: USA, MPA 360° – Adding audiences of different platforms, gross audience, no overlap, not suitable for mediaplanning
Mediaplanning: – European countries (France, Belgium, The Netherlands etc.) – 2 possible approaches: • All channels are measured in readership survey, single source • Fusion of different audience surveys
– Gross and net audience (overlap), suitable for mediaplanning
3
From measuring print towards measuring reading • In 2014 NOM (Joint Industry Committee for national readership survey in The Netherlands) has changed the scope of its measurement from readership of printed editions of newspapers and magazines into measuring total readership of newspaper and magazine brands. print – radio - tv
reading – listening - viewing
4
Goal: mediaplanning of magazine brands NOM chose a combination of approaches: – Fusion of audience surveys for print and digital
– Backed up by single source measurement in the national readership survey

Problem: small brands • Problem with measuring small brands reliably in panels of internet audience surveys (DDMM, NOBO) • Future problems in readership surveys – smaller samples (cost reduction) • Additional data sources are necessary • Census data (circulation) can be obtained for big and small brands – this can be used to fill the gaps of audience surveys Off-line product

Further steps • NOM Print Monitor is ready for fusion with internet audience data (hooks) • Internet audience measurement needs the same hooks • Data integration project: – How to use census data in order to improve / calibrate audience data – Fusion of readership data and internet audience data
• In the meantime NOM Print Monitor gives insight into reading of printed and digital editions of magazines and newspapers (single source, claimed behaviour)
