The National Readership Survey was established in 1956 and today provides the most authoritative and valued audience research in use for print advertising trading in the UK. The survey covers over 250 of Britain's major newspapers and magazines, showing the size and nature of the audiences they achieve. NRS was introduced in September 2012 to provide a unique measure of combined print and online audiences. Data are available up to 2017; subsequent data are available via PAMCo (below).
