NRS datasets in 2017 are a blend of NRS and AMP print data. Due to the different methodologies, the PAMCo Board have mandated that NRS and AMP data should not be compared for commercial or marketing purposes. This means that this report should not be compared with previous periods of NRS data. Average Issue Readership (or AIR) is the most commonly used estimate of a publication’s readership provided by the NRS. An “average issue reader” is defined as anyone who has read a publication within the interval between one issue and the next, in other words read yesterday for a daily newspaper, read in the last 7 days for a weekly newspaper or magazine, read in the past 4 weeks for a monthly magazine etc. About NRS Estimates The National Readership Survey estimates the number (and type) of people who read national daily and Sunday newspapers, newspaper supplements, and general and women’s magazines. The NRS is a continuous survey based on interviews with a representative sample of around 35,000 adults in Great Britain every year. The published readership estimates are used by publishers and agencies as a basis for buying and selling advertising space in newspapers and magazines. NRS provides readership estimates for some 270 publications. Further data from NRS The full NRS database is released to subscribers on a quarterly basis, for periods ending March, June, September and December. It contains a wealth of information about the type of readers that different publications have.
