Publishers who are members of either the NPA or the PPA and who wish to have their publication/s covered by the survey should in the first instance approach the relevant Association. Publishers who are not members of either Association should contact NRS directly.

Publications which are not normally covered include:

• Regional titles (other than the Scottish newspapers)
• Titles carrying only classified advertising, or not carrying advertising at all
• Trade, business or professional titles, or special-interest titles whose readers are unlikely to be properly represented in the sample
• Titles aimed primarily at children (aged 14 or less)
• Titles appearing less often than quarterly, or titles which appear irregularly

The survey’s list of titles (Titles Covered) is reviewed each quarter, with additions and deletions normally made for January, April, July and October. Changes can be made in other months for an additional charge of £350. Two months notice is normally required for any change.

Minimum Requirements

There is no minimum circulation requirement, but a publication must achieve a minimum sample before any data can be released. See Data Release Rules
