Digital-Only Magazine Reading Is 11% of Total Gross Audience, According to GfK MRI
GfK MRI Releases First Wave of Audience Estimates for All Forms of Magazine Reading
(firmenpresse) - NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 11/17/11 -- Adults who read magazines only on digital platforms represent 11% of the total gross magazine audience, according to the first wave of GfK MRI data that measures both print and digital magazine readership.
From March through October 2011, the total gross magazine audience -- defined as the number of consumer exposures to magazine-branded content on any platform, including magazines printed on paper -- was approximately 1.6 billion; 11% were exposures only on desktop or laptop computers, Tablets, eReaders or smart phones and did not involve printed content.
"This is the first time that we have released data showing magazine readership across the board -- for print and all digital devices," said Dr. Julian Baim, EVP and Chief Research Officer at GfK MRI. "We can now quantify the percentage of the gross magazine audience that were exposed to magazine-branded content only via digital platforms versus the printed product. With the Spring 2012 GfK MRI data release, we will have two waves of title-specific data that will put digital reading in a fuller perspective."
A profile of digital-only magazine readers shows they are more likely to be well-educated, affluent young men, a demographic group much sought after by marketers.
Distribution of the new digital data to GfK MRI's clients coincides with the company's Fall 2011 release of its in-home magazine audience surveys, which are the industry currency for how magazines are measured in the United States. Each data release represents two six-month survey periods, or waves. The digital-only readership data are contained only in Wave 65, which was in the field from March through October of 2011.
Beginning in the spring of 2012, GfK MRI will release two survey waves showing magazine readership across both printed and digital platforms.
