आईआरएस 2012 की पहली तिमाही के नतीजे टाप दस हिंदी दैनिकों में से सात के लिए खुशखबरी लेकर आए हैं. ग्रोथ रेट के मामले में प्रभात खबर और पत्रिका (ध्यान दें, राजस्थान पत्रिका और पत्रिका, दो अलग अलग अखबार हैं जिनका मालिक और समूह एक है, इस बार के आईआरएस से पता चलता है कि राजस्थान पत्रिका की हालत पतली हुई है जबकि पत्रिका फर्राटा ले रहा है) की बल्ले बल्ले है. इन दोनों ने सबसे ज्यादा ग्रोथ रेट दर्ज की है. दैनिक जागरण ने नंबर वन की पोजीशन मेनटेन तो की है पर सिर्फ 2000 पाठक जोड़ पाया है.
इस बार का एआईआर (एवरेश इश्यू रीडरशिप) 1,64,12,000 है तो पिछली बार यह एआईआर 1,64,10,000 था. मतलब एआईआर में सिर्फ 2000 की वृद्धि हुई है. दैनिक भास्कर ने इस बार 49,000 पाठक खो दिए हैं. इसका वर्तमान एआईआर 1,45,53,000 है और पिछली तिमाही में यह 1,46,02,000 था. अखबारों के असली हालचाल पर पूरी रिपोर्ट इस प्रकार है….

((Average Issue Readership (AIR) of a publication is defined as the number of readers of that publication who have claimed to have last read it within its periodicity, i.e., last read a daily yesterday, a weekly within the last week, a monthly within the last month, etc. This measure is considered to be a more relevant measure of ‘real’ or ‘regular’ readership, especially for newspapers, most of which have been read/consumed as a matter of daily habit. Conventionally, media planners even calculate and compare cost-benefits of dailies based on the AIR figure. Hence, it is perhaps the most relevant to study readership trends as well in terms of AIR. Along with IRS 2012 Q1, the New Consumer Classification System (NCCS) data has also been released. NCCS is a household and individual aggregate-based system that has one classification for both Urban & Rural optimised for “Wealth/affluence” of consumers. It also indicates the propensity to spend beyond current income.)) input-bestmediainfo
