If this figure is not reached advertisers may be given a partial refund Circulation verification – magazine circulations are audited by a verification service Pass-along readership – primary subscriber or purchaser gives a magazine to another person Controlled circulation – copies are sent (free) to individuals who influence purchases Total audience – primary circulation plus pass along readership Use of this slide This slide can be used to discuss the various magazine circulation concepts.

Total audience is calculated by multiplying the number of readers per copy by the circulation of an average issue. A magazine such as Time may have a circulation base of 3.3 million, but an audience guarantee of over 19 million, because it has a pass-along rate that yields up to six readers per copy.

This results in a complicated production and buying process for national advertisers that purchase space in a number of newspapers. To address this problem, the newspaper industry switched to standard advertising units (SAUs) in 1984. All newspapers under this system use 2 1/16-inch wide columns, and regardless of how many there are, and ads are sold using a column-inch unit of measure. This allows national advertisers to prepare one ad and know that it will fit in every newspaper. Newspaper rates for local advertisers continue to be based on the column inch, which is 1 inch deep by 1 column wide. Column widths vary, depending on the page size of the newspaper and the number of columns into which it is divided.

Many newspapers are redesigning their layouts, introducing new sections, and revising old ones to appeal to important market segments, such as women and young adults.
