Abstract:
As the title indicates, this paper should throw some light on the practice of readership research and the philosophy behind, worldwide. In a way it is a direct follow-up of the paper given at ESOMAR's last media seminar in Helsinki two years ago. The two papers together will provide a fairly comprehensive overview of what is going on in readership research in the free world. While the first one centred around the theories and models, i.e. Through-the-Book and Recent Reading, this paper concentrates more on the practice.
