![]() Circulation Report looks at scan-based single-copy systems "The Challenges of Scan-Based Single-Copy Sales," a new NAA report, is based on a recent survey of more than 300 newspapers. The report confirms that the transition among retailers to a scan-based sales accounting and billing system has affected many U.S. daily newspapers. Almost half of the responding newspapers sell more than 15 percent of their single-copy circulation on a scan basis.

It includes a summary of the findings, sales trend information for daily and Sunday single-copy and tables with responses to the complete survey. MORE
