This year, communicators throughout the chapter demonstrated a heightened drive to excel by submitting a record breaking number of entries to both the OVATION Awards and the Bobbie Resnick Philanthropy Award. There was also a range of contenders for our other Awards of Distinction, which include the 2009 IABC/Toronto MAVERICK PR Student of the Year Award, as well as the Corporate Communications Department of the Year, Independent/Small Agency of the Year and Agency of the Year awards. The resulting winners span the spectrum of agency, corporate, government and not-for-profit sectors. As such, they showcase diverse campaigns – from a light-hearted ‗road show‘ that mixes ping-pong with a 60s icon to boost a confectionery company‘s market share, to socially responsible initiatives that shift consumer behaviour and divert waste from landfill or ease electricity use. And the metrics show: communications can generate measureable results and prompt beneficial change. As a volunteer-driven organization, we are indebted to Linda Andross, ABC, VP Accreditation & Standards and her team of judges, led by Amanda Brewer, ABC and John Cappelletti, ABC, M.Ed. To further honour our winners and the organizations they represent, this year‘s judges crystallized their findings to tell guests at the 2009 OVATION Awards gala ‘why‘ top winners stood out. Credit also goes to Trell Huether, VP Awards, and his team, who agonized over each detail, long before and after the judging process, to make the 2009 OVATION Awards program a success. We‘re also grateful for our sponsors, including MAVERICK Public Relations, News Canada, Fusion Design Group and Canadian Press Images, who helped make the event possible. On behalf of IABC/Toronto, I congratulate all of the 2009 OVATION Award and Awards of Distinction winners. Thanks also for inspiring other communicators and profiling our profession‘s capability to deliver bottom-line results, so we may ‗Be Heard™‘ in wider circles. Together, let‘s ensure ‗word gets around.‘ Leslie Hetherington, APR, MBA President, IABC/Toronto 2 A Message from the OVATION Awards Organizers It is with sincere gratitude that we acknowledge all of the entrants, judges, advisors, sponsors and volunteer organizers who were involved with the 2009 IABC/Toronto OVATION Awards. The OVATION Awards recognize the high standard of excellence found in the Greater Toronto Area communications community and with each passing year, we continue to be amazed by the creativity and professionalism achieved by each entry. The calibre of this year‘s submissions demonstrated the high level of skill required in producing successful communications as the competition for audience continues to grow. This year‘s tagline, ‗Word Gets Around,‘ emphasizes how great communications need to be stronger and more relevant than ever in order to overcome the barrage of information faced by people on a daily basis. The programs created by this year‘s winners have been honoured for successfully rising above the noise to deliver their intended messages to their desired audiences. In 2009 we saw a record number of OVATION entries and in total IABC/Toronto awarded 17 Awards of Excellence and 32 Awards of Merit. We also received a record-breaking number of entries for the Bobbie Resnick Philanthropy Award and the IABC/Toronto MAVERICK Student of the Year Award. Our sincere thanks is extended to the co-directors of judging – Amanda Brewer, ABC and John Cappelletti, ABC, M.Ed – and the team of more than 30 judges who had the difficult task of selecting this year‘s winners. A big thank you also goes to our amazing team of more than 20 volunteers led by directors Lyndsay Carter, Amanda Flude, Erin Jennison, Katie O‘Dell and Diana Spremo. Your creativity, enthusiasm and hard work have gone a long way to make the entire OVATION Awards program a success. We also extend many thanks to our sponsors for their support: The Canadian Press Images (who provided the evening‘s photography); Fusion Design Group (our design partner for the gala and event‘s striking creative); MAVERICK Public Relations; and News Canada. We hope you enjoy reviewing the following winning entries and look forward to seeing your next entry in the 2010 IABC/Toronto OVATION Awards.

    Worldwide Readership Research Symposium 2007 Session 2 Paper 9 FREE NEWSPAPER READERSHIP Piet Bakker, Amsterdam School of Communications Research, University of Amsterdam Abstract Twelve years after the introduction of the first free commuter newspaper in Sweden, circulation of free newspapers has risen to 40 million daily copies. Readership of free newspapers is more complex and in many cases harder to pin down. In general it is different from readership of paid newspapers. The first difference concerns the demographics of the readers: free papers target the affluent 18 to 34 group and in many cases try to achieve that by choosing particular ways of distribution, and also by concentrating on specific content. Age, indeed seems to be significantly lower in most cases although the average readers does not seem to be particularly wealthy. The second distinct feature is the amount of unique readers of free newspaper. Results on the few available cases indicate that around half of the readers only read papers although also lower levels have been reported. The third issue concerns readers per copy. The traditional free commuter daily can reach to a rather high number of readers per copy; but with many markets reaching free newspaper saturation this number seems to be dropping, whereas free door-to-door distributed free papers and afternoon papers have a lower readership per copy. In this paper we will present information on these three issues from a dozen markets, using audited readership data. Free Newspaper Readership The World Association of Newspapers (2007) reported on the year 2006 that daily circulation of newspapers increased with 4.61 percent (25 million copies) compared to 2005.
