Nursing Journal is Second Publication to Publish Consolidated Media Report

WOODCLIFF LAKE, N.J. -- Advanstar Communications Inc. today announced the completion of the ABC Consolidated Media Report for RN.

This ABC Consolidated Media Report provides users with a detailed analysis of the total number of nurses that are touched by the RN brand on a monthly basis. The report contains data for RN's Total Qualified Circulation, the publication's pass-along readership, RN's website, and RN's enewsletter. Compiled together, RN delivers 957,391(a) total gross contacts through these various outlets.

"For 70 years, RN has been a leader in the field," said Matt Holland, group publisher. "The information contained in our Consolidated Media Report validates the fact that close to 1,000,000 nurses look to us as a resource in print and online each month. This reach will offer an excellent return on investment for companies interested in gaining exposure to such an educated and influential audience."

Mark Rosen, circulation director, said, "While our ABC Statement demonstrates RN's high quality circulation, this new report clearly shows just how many nurses RN touches through print and online interaction each month."
