ABC Looks to Launch New Auditing Service

The Audit Bureau of Circulations plans to launch a new auditing service directed at community newspaper publishers.

The ABC board gave the initiative initial approval during its July meeting in Chicago last week. The service, ABC Community Newspaper Audit, could be available to U.S. and Canadian publishers with newspapers with paid circulation under 25,000 by Jan. 1, 2010, if the ABC board officially stamps it.

The idea is to offer smaller newspaper operators a lower cost and simplified auditing process with annual flat fees that begin at $2,000.

“This is a significant new service offering that directly addresses the challenges many community newspapers face today,” Kirk Davis, president and COO of GateHouse Media, said in a statement.
