ABC Jul – Dec 2001 Performance By Publisher

ABC Jul – Dec 2001 Performance By Publisher

The figures listed in NewsLine’s ABC reports are those reported by the Audit Bureau of Circulations (ABC) as at Thursday 14 February 2002. Late submissions and changes may be made after this date, and will thereafter be amended in MediaTel’s Press database. For full notes on how NewsLine’s reports are compiled please see Newsline.

In order to create the lists used for NewsLine’s ABC reports, we include all titles audited for each publisher during the two comparative periods (Jul – Dec 2000 and Jul – Dec 2001). This includes any launches, closures, mergers, buy-outs and titles that have only recently begun submitting audits. These exceptional cases are highlighted within our tables, and distinguished according to the following code next to the title:

B Denotes a title that has changed ownership within the last twelve months. In the case of the Performance by Publisher analysis, the circulations of these titles will not be included in the total for Jul – Dec 2000, when the titles were owned by their previous company, but will be included in the total for Jul – Dec 2001. Year on year circulation comparison will be made on individual titles as normal.

C Denotes a title which has closed within the last twelve months, which therefore has a figure for the Jan – Jun 2000 period, but may not for the Jul – Dec 2001 period (depending on how recent the closure was).

M Denotes a title that has merged with another title within the last twelve months, which therefore has a separate figure for the Jul – Dec 2000 period, but may not for the 2001 period.

N Denotes a title launched within the last six months, or one that is submitting its first ABC audit, and therefore does not have a figure for the Jul – Dec 2000 period.

R Denotes a title that has launched or begun submitting audits within the last twelve months, and therefore does not have a figure for the Jul – Dec 2000 period.
