Readly announces the 2024 category leaders in digital magazine readership
Magazine and newspaper app Readly today announced the winning magazine title across each of its 37 categories based on average readership per issue in 2024. This recognition comes with the introduction of a newly designed “Readly Top Title” badge, a mark publishers can proudly feature in their media kits and marketing materials to showcase their achievements.
The initiative is part of Readly’s ongoing commitment to supporting publishers in demonstrating their reach and relevance in today’s competitive media environment. All Readly Publishers receive access to verified readership data for use in circulation reporting and use throughout their business to help analyse and explain how readers are engaging with their brands.
– As publishers increasingly navigate the complexities of digital audiences, having accurate and timely data has become a critical need. Readly’s platform can uniquely offer comprehensive insights into digital audience engagement for the print and digital editions, even on an article level. By introducing the ‘Readly Top Title’ badge, we celebrate the very best of magazine brands and aim to equip publishers with actionable insights and showcase their reach and brand performance, says Chris Couchman, Head of Client Services at Readly.
The announcement also follows ongoing debates in key markets; the UK, Sweden, and Germany, about the challenges publishers face in demonstrating the value of digital reach to advertisers. As traditional print circulation continues to decline, the industry has called for more robust digital metrics to bridge the gap.
