The definition is based on those who say they have last read a publication within its publication period (i.e. during a week for a weekly, a month for a monthly etc.) for at least two minutes. Print audience in this report is shown as a total over a period of 4 weeks for consistency with Nielsen DRM figures. These print figures are therefore larger than those shown in the separate Print Audience report, which are for a single issue.
