The Publishers Audience Measurement Company
The Publishers Audience Measurement Company (PAMCo), is the governing body which oversees audience measurement for the published media industry. We are responsible for the joint industry currency (JIC) called PAMCo – Audience Measurement for Publishers in place of NRS data.
Our funding stakeholders are the Institute of Practitioners in Advertising (IPA – Advertising Agencies), Newsworks (representing Newsbrands) and the Professional Publishers Association (PPA – Magazine Media). Our board also has representation from The Incorporated Society of British Advertisers (ISBA).

De-duplicated reach and frequency for all platforms. An increased number of brands reported across all platforms. Single source data to understand duplication between print and digital. Improved figures of net brand reach and duplication. Reporting newsbrand sections across print AND digital.
How are PAMCo data collected?
PAMCo’s methodology integrates print readership and demographic data from a high-quality survey with digital audience figures supplied by Ipsos iris. The PAMCo survey is based on a predominantly face-to-face approach.
