Magazine publishers keep track of readership for several reasons. One of them is that they need to know how many magazines to print; if they don't print enough, they will lose sales for those people who wanted to buy the magazine and couldn't find a copy, but if they print too many, then the unsold ones are waste and must be destroyed.
Also, the advertising rates the magazine can charge depend on the number of readers. A magazine which has a million readers per month can charge more for an ad than one that only has 10,000 readers per month, since the advertiser will know that more people will see his ad in the higher circulation magazine. They're also interested in knowing more details about the readers (a magazine where the average reader has annual income of $100,000 can charge more than a magazine where the average reader has annual income of $35,000).
Mainstream publications are widely-known publications that have a large readership or audience. These publications are typically established, reputable, and cover a wide range of topics such as news, entertainment, and lifestyle. Examples include The New York Times, BBC, and CNN.
The readership of a newspaper or magazine is the number of people who read it.

Readership can be calculated by assessing the number of unique individuals who read a publication within a specific period. This can be done through surveys, monitoring digital analytics for online content, or estimating based on circulation figures for print media. Additionally, metrics such as social media engagement and website traffic can provide insights into broader readership trends. Combining these data points gives a more comprehensive view of a publication's audience.
Online decrease readership and lack of in depth readership.
The pros of electronic publishing are open access, rapid publication, lower costs, high visibility and international readership. Cons are a perceived lack of credibility compared with paper publications. They also do not have an adequate peer review process.
The readership
lack of knowledge and skills.
Yes, by 1851, China had newspapers, though they were quite different from modern Western newspapers. The first Chinese newspaper, the "Diyin Xunbao," was established in 1815, and others followed, primarily in coastal cities. These publications were often focused on government announcements, commerce, and news from abroad, but they were limited in their reach and readership compared to Western newspapers of the time. The development of newsprint and printing technology facilitated the growth of these early publications.
