Audience, which is measured by Scarborough and accredited by the Media Rating Council, refers to the percentage of Americans who actually read the newspaper.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;For media buyers, analysts and others who evaluate the health of newspapers and the value of our medium&#8217;s advertising, audience is a far more meaningful way to measure newspapers&#8217; ability to attract a growing audience across multiple platforms,&quot; said John F. Sturm, president and CEO of the Newspaper Association of America. <\/p>\n<p>&quot;This important data from Scarborough Research also provides further evidence that newspapers reach a highly educated, affluent audience.&quot;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related Articles:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\"><span style=\"font-size: larger;\">&gt;<\/span><\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/feedproxy.google.com\/..\/topnews\/2009\/03\/31\/newspapers-not-effectively-using-social-media\"><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 105, 210);
