Overview

EN 15707:2008 (Print media surveys - Vocabulary and service requirements) is a European Standard developed by CEN/TC 376 that defines common vocabulary and service requirements for surveys in the field of print media (newspapers and magazines). It sets out terms and definitions, procedural requirements, and minimum quality, privacy and documentation rules to ensure consistent, transparent and comparable print media audience and profile research across Europe. The standard was approved by CEN in 2008 and adopted nationally (e.g., SIST EN 15707:2009).

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Standardized vocabulary: clear definitions for terms such as print medium, reach, frequency, recent reading, first reading yesterday (FRY), first reading in publishing interval (FRIPI), readership projection and readership profile.
  • Client–researcher cooperation: documented client briefings, written agreement on scope changes, disclosure and approval of subcontractors, client review of questionnaires, presentation formats and copyright arrangements.
  • Data quality and documentation: obligation to provide code frames, analytical methods and documentation of sampling, fieldwork and questionnaire details on request.
  • Privacy and confidentiality: protection of respondents, interviewers and client identities; rules on voluntary participation, re-contact consent, separation and secure storage of address and research data.
  • Universe and sampling: requirements to define the survey universe (regionally and temporally), use recent reference data, state universe size (projections), and use representative sampling or clearly documented non-probability methods. Stratification and sample-size considerations are addressed to control sampling variation.
  • Measurement procedures & fieldwork management: provisions for types of surveys (audience measurement, media profile, page exposure), calculation of reading probabilities, interviewer recruitment, training, validation and rules for subcontracting fieldwork.
  • Reference to ISO 20252: normative cross-reference to ISO 20252:2006 (market, opinion and social research vocabulary and service requirements).

Practical applications

  • Ensures comparability and transparency of print media audience figures used by publishers, advertisers and media agencies.
  • Guides research service providers on contractual, methodological and operational best practices when conducting print media surveys.
  • Helps clients and commissioners evaluate proposals, check data quality and understand rights (copyrights, confidentiality).
  • Assists regulators and industry bodies in setting minimum standards for audience measurement and media profiling.

Who uses this standard

  • Media research companies and fieldwork agencies
  • Publishers and print media owners
  • Advertising and media planning agencies
  • Market research buyers and commissioning clients
