Canadians still love their magazines despite an ever-changing media landscape, showing stable reading habits in the PMB 2011 Fall report on readership, product and brand data.

Readers-per-copy analysis yielded slightly higher numbers than the previous two years at an average 4.93, gaining from 4.81 in 2009 and recovering from last fall's decline to 4.78.

Reader's Digest and Canadian Living held on to the number one and number two spots for total readership. People, Chatelaine, What's Cooking and Canadian Geographic rounded out the top five, while Qu'est-ce qui mijote pulled in the highest overall readership among French publications.

Average minutes spent reading proved strong at 41.9, up from 40.6 in Fall 2010 and 41.3 in Fall 2009.

Younger readers in the 12-24 age demographic read 3.6 PMB-measured publications per month, not far off from the 3.7 national average for all age groups combined.

New this year for the benefit of dual-delivery platform publications is the fusion of PMB data with data on website traffic from comScore Canada. "The media industry in Canada expects PMB to keep pace with the rapidly changing media scene," said new PMB chairman, Kirby Miller, Senior VP at House & Home Media in Toronto.

This fusion of print and online data plus the decision in 2009 to release biannual reports are moves specifically designed to adapt to the changing industry landscape, Miller said.
