Share
In Australian media news this week, we compare EMMA newspaper and magazine readership figures to Roy Morgan’s, and the country’s best radio advertising: Siren Awards 2015 announces winners.
EMMA newspaper and magazine readership figures differ from Roy Morgan’s
The release of Enhanced Media Metrics Australia (EMMA)’s newspaper and magazine readership estimates differ widely from those of measurement rival Roy Morgan, which we reported last week here.
Rather than splitting up newspaper readership into ‘Monday to Friday’, ‘Saturday’, and ‘Sunday’ reports as Roy Morgan does, EMMA simply compares all newspapers by readership.
Australia’s top 15 most-read print newspapers, according to Emma
- Herald Sun (M-F): 1,352,000,
