The changes to the ABC Reporting Standards are:
Digital Licences
From reporting periods ending January 2012 onwards you can report on your magazine certificate digital licences that provide a subscriber’s multiple users with access to your magazine’s digital edition. This information will be reported on the magazine ABC certificate, separate from the magazine’s circulation.
Single and Multiple Copy Subscription Sales
The rules currently state that for single and multiple copy subscription purchases the recipients’ details must be provided by the purchaser. Due to some possible ambiguity in certain scenarios, it has been clarified that, with immediate effect, where the purchaser has approved the recipients’ details (even if they were originally provided by the publisher) then this would be compliant.
