	ABC Adjusts College-Delivery Policy (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Although its move to change the definition of paid circulation got all the attention, the Audit Bureau of Circulations also recently changed another policy with implications for newspapers.
		ABC will allow newspapers to count as "individual paid circulation-home delivery" copies delivered to college students and paid for by schools.
		ABC had categorized copies sold under the program as "average bulk circulation." But the paper argued that they should be reported as "individual paid-home delivery" because students demonstrated "wantedness" by contacting the newspaper to start their subscriptions and the copies were delivered to their homes.

		The agency that's supposed to keep the newspapers honest is the Audit Bureau of Circulations, a nonprofit outfit that validates circulation for nearly every newspaper and magazine of note in the United States, and many abroad.
		But the ABC is captive of the very industry it monitors, which means that its numbers are only as honest as the newspapers producing them.
		One unnamed former circulation worker alleges that home delivery would be started for people who hadn't requested the paper—sometimes 1,000 or more at a time.

		Published: November 12, 2004 4:35 PM ET The Audit Bureau of Circulations is planning several steps to hold publishers more accountable for their paid circulation reports, including compiling and disclosing a list of audits that are running late and the reasons for the delay.
		Speaking by phone Friday from Toronto, where the group is holding its annual meeting, Audit Bureau president Michael Lavery said the group's goal in taking the new measures was to close the "expectations gap," or the difference between what an audit can realistically provide in and what people expect it to.
		Several publishers have tightened their own internal controls on circulation in the wake of the misstatements -- which resulted in censures from the Audit Bureau -- and reported no additional problems beyond those already disclosed.

		BPA's hook-up with the Canadian Circulations Audit Board (CCAB) and the Audit Bureau of Circulations Ltd.-UK (which is not affiliated with ABC in the United States) is an attempt to develop international standards for confirming and reporting circulation data.

		When the audit is finished, the publication's total circulation is then posted in a detailed annual A.B.C. report, which not only shows the quantity of the circulation and its distribution, but also the methods used to get that circulation.
