Roy Morgan has released the Australian Magazine Readership report for the 12 months to March 2018. A total of 15,007,000 Australians aged 14+ (74.3 per cent) read magazines either in print or online via the web or an app, down 0.3 per cent from a year ago. Readership of print magazines was just under 12.6 million (62.3 per cent), virtually unchanged from a year ago. The free "Coles Magazine" remains the most widely-read print magazine, with an average readership of 4,367,000 per issue (up 15.4 per cent), while "Better Homes & Gardens", "Women’s Weekly" and "Woman’s Day" remain the top three most widely-read paid magazines. Meanwhile, seven of Australia’s 10 leading magazines ranked by cross-platform audiences retain a significantly larger readership via their print editions than their digital platforms. As more magazine publishers expand their online offerings this is slowly changing, although magazines remain significantly more reliant on print editions than their online engagement.

15 million Australians read magazines across print & online

Roy Morgan has released the Australian Magazine Readership report for the 12 months to December 2017. A total of 12,565,000 Australians aged 14+ (62.5 per cent) read print magazines – down 93,000 (0.7 per cent) from a year ago. However, the audience reach of magazines is extended to 15 million Australians 14+ when you include magazine reading online (either via the web or an app). The withdrawal of major publishers from audited circulation results for magazines just over a year ago means Roy Morgan’s readership results continue to be the only truly independent measure of magazine performance now available. "Coles Magazine" remains the most widely-read print magazine, with an average readership of 4,152,000 per issue (up 11.3 per cent). Meanwhile, seven of Australia’s 10 leading magazines ranked by cross-platform audiences retain a significantly larger readership via their print editions than their digital offerings – a clear contrast to their print newspaper cousins, although this picture is slowly changing as more magazine publishers expand and refine their online offerings.

Roy Morgan Research has released the Australian Magazine Readership report for the 12 months to September 2017. A total of 12,577,000 Australians aged 14+ (62.9 per cent) read print magazines, up 2,000 from a year ago. The audience reach of magazines is extended to 15,005,000 Australians aged 14+ (77.8 per cent) when you include magazine reading online (either via the web or an app). The withdrawal of major publishers from audited circulation results for magazines in 2016 means Roy Morgan’s readership results are the only truly independent measure of magazine performance now available. "Coles Magazine" remains the most widely-read print magazine, with an average readership of 3,975,000 per issue (up 8.3 per cent). Meanwhile, nine of Australia’s 10 leading magazines ranked by cross-platform audiences retain a significantly larger readership via their print editions than their digital offerings – a clear contrast to their print newspaper cousins.

Roy Morgan Research has released the latest Readership report for Australian Newspapers for the 12 months to June 2017. Some 12,913,000 Australians aged 14+ (64.8 per cent) now read or access newspapers in an average 7-day period either in print, or online via website or app. This is virtually unchanged from a year ago. While cross-platform audiences are steady, the latest results show that growing numbers of Australians are choosing to consume their news via digital platforms rather than through the traditional print format. Over the past 12 months nine of Australia’s leading mastheads have increased their digital readership, while only three have increased their print readership. "The Sydney Morning Herald" is the most widely-read masthead, with cross-platform readership of 4,235,000, up 3.8 per cent from a year ago; the increase was driven by an increase in digital readership that more than offset the loss of print readers.
