Abstract
Following the audiometric revolution, only the press and poster advertising have remained outside the reach of automated audience measurement tools. In view of such methodological conservatism, the aim of this paper is to design a new method for measuring press readership and go beyond the limits of Recent Reading, the standard readership measurement method for this type of medium. With this objective, we began by developing a conceptual framework for measuring press readers-per-copy, focused on consumer behavior. We then devised a new research tool that can automatically collect data on press readership behavior via cell phones. To complete our methodological approach, we selected a sample group as a means of observational research and drew up an appropriate questionnaire for measuring the editorial and advertising preferences of press readers.
