Source: Figures calculated using basic subscription price and suggested cover price calculated by the MPA Info Center from Audit Bureau of Circulations statements for the first and second six months of each year.
*Effective 2006, ABC established verified circulation as a separate category; this circulation is no longer included in revenue calculations.
Domestic titles audited by ABC; annuals, international editions and comics have been excluded, only titles with a frequency of quarterly or more are included. The Audit Bureau of Circulations ruled in 2011 that digital editions would be reported as part of the Fas Fax data; as of March 2011 digital editions make up less than 1% of A.B.C.'s Fas Fax data. Totals may not add up exactly, due to rounding of numbers to (000)s.
