12. Verification of Distribution

Controlled Bulk / Demand Distribution The Circulation Verification Council interviewed and/or visited controlled bulk/demand distribution locations chosen randomly from the publication’s delivery list. The purpose was to identify the number of locations who indicate they receive the publication on a regular basis, and further verify the number of publications distributed at the beginning of the edition cycle, and the number of editions left unclaimed by readers at the end of the edition cycle. CVC interviews indicate that 100% of reported controlled bulk drop locations indicated they received Thrifty Nickel ‐ Kansas City on a regular basis. CVC interviews substantiate Thrifty Nickel ‐ Kansas City’s claim of 6,042 single copy & returnable source distributed editions returned to the publisher unclaimed after the edition cycle.

Thrifty Nickel ‐ Kansas City, MO ‐ 23‐0901 ‐ Supplemental Readership Study The Circulation Verification Council interviewed Thrifty Nickel readers in the primary market areas indicated in publication’s CVC audit report. The purpose was to identify the number of residents who indicate they have read at least two of the last four issues of the publication, and gather readership study information useful for advertising purchase decisions. Market statistics estimates appearing in CVC reports are obtained from EASI Software. The population studied consisted of adults age 18 and over, living in households within the survey area. Within this area, each household and each adult within the household had a known (or “non‐zero”) probability of being selected for the sample. Interviews were conducted solely with pre‐designated respondents and no substitutions were permitted. The verification and readership study took place throughout the audit cycle between the hours of 5:30 PM and 8:30 PM and 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM. Initial interview attempts were spread evenly across all survey days (i.e., Tuesday through Saturday). A minimum of 250 completed interviews is required with no more than one interview per household. Interview Procedures: To ensure the highest degree of comparability and to facilitate the auditing process, a standard, consistent, specified list of interview questions was asked. Interviews were conducted by CVC with supervision, interview training, and monitoring capabilities. Interviews were conducted over a minimum period of four weeks to minimize the impact of weather and/or special news stories. Every effort was made to ensure that interviews were assigned randomly by day and that an approximately equal number of interviews were completed on each interviewing day. Where appropriate, data was balanced and/or weighted by ZIP code using up‐to‐date known demographics: gender, age, number of adults in household and ethnicity in those cases where one minority comprised no less than ten percent of the total population. Non‐responses to any single question were eliminated from the survey. In all cases, at least six attempts were made to contact all pre‐designated respondents. The telephone rang a minimum of six times each time a number was dialed before the attempt was classified as a “no answer.” Each number was dialed at different times and, as necessary, on different days. Every effort was made to surmount language, cultural, behavioral and other barriers to a successful interview; and to the extent feasible, callbacks were scheduled on a random basis. At least one callback attempt per respondent was made on a weekend. During the interview process, no questions were asked prior to the newspaper readership question, with the exception of a qualifying question designed to determine the ZIP code of recipient residence; and a general warm‐up call explanation designed to put the respondent at ease. Warm‐up questions did not include any reference to the publication itself or the nature of the study. This study followed recommended guidelines developed in part from the Advertising Research Foundation (ARF) newspaper readership guidelines. Survey totals may not equal 100% due to rounding. The Circulation Verification Council estimates that all the information in this survey has a maximum error margin of +/‐2.5 at the 95% confidence level. *0 Survey respondents were interviewed during the verification of carrier delivery and mail distribution. 513 Survey respondents reported reading a minimum of two of the last four issues through single copy, controlled bulk, or pass along distribution.

Average readers per edition during the audit period: 2.20* *Readership estimates compiled from 2011 CVC circulation & readership study data.
