INDUSTRY NEWS From RR Donnelley  Weekly Collator            Volume
6: 
No. 26 / June 26, 2006

ECONOMY
Leading Indicators Slid Last Month  (Wall Street Journal – June 22, 
2006)
According to the Conference Board, its composite index of leading 
indicators declined by  0.6% in May to 137.9, after a modest 0.1% 
decrease in the prior month.  The May  reading contrasted with the
0.5% 
median decline estimate of 15 economists surveyed by  Dow Jones 
Newswires.   The Conference Board noted that three of the ten 
indicators  that make up the leading index showed improvement for
May.  
The largest positive  contributors came from manufacturers’ new
orders 
for non-defense capital goods.  The  biggest negative contributors
were 
the average weekly initial claims for unemployment  insurance, the 
index of consumer expectations, real money supply, and average
weekly  
factory hours.

MAGAZINES
New Magazine Data Will Help Enable Reach Comparisons  (Media Daily
News 
– June 26, 2006)
A new service by Readership.com is beginning to provide audience 
accumulation data  for magazine readership, which will enable 
advertisers and agencies to compare how  the print medium builds 
audience reach.  A spokesperson from Readership.com  compares what
the 
company is doing for magazines to what Nielsen has always done  for 
television.  The official launch of Readership.com coincides with a 
similar system  being tested by Mediamark Research Inc., which
recently 
began conducting weekly  web-based consumer surveys to supplement
its 
standard surveys upon which many  magazine advertisers rely.  This
new 
data could bring new insight on how people read  magazines and
could 
also affect future advertising trends.

RETAIL
Same-Store Sales Up 4.4% in May  (Retail Forward – June 2006)  May 
same-store sales grew 4.4%, down  from April’s 6.7% increase but up 
from  last May’s 2.9% increase.  May results  for same-store sales 
defied fears of a  consumer spending slow down.  Many  retailers 
reported better than expected  results.  Department stores led the
way  
with nearly a 7% increase in same-store  sales, while sectors
targeted 
at lower  income households lagged.

Crime Rings Become Fashion in Retail Theft  (Milwaukee Journal
Sentinel 
– June 17, 2006)
Last year, U.S. retailers lost close to $37.4 billion worth of 
merchandise to theft. The  2005 National Retail Security Survey
found 
that only 10% of the retailers who responded  have an organized
retail 
crime task force, while one-third of companies are tracking 
organized 
retail crime data. The latest poll, however, found that 81% of 
companies had  been victimized by organized crime. Congress has 
authorized spending $5 million for  training officers and
investigating 
and prosecuting organized retail theft crimes.

BOOKS
Scholastic Study Underscores Technology Use and Parental Influence  
(Book Publishing Report – June 19, 2006)
A new study was released last week, which revealed that children
rely 
heavily on their  parents to find good books and use technology to
read 
online. The study also found that  children five to eight years old 
read more than those nine and older. In fact, the number  of
children 
who classify themselves as "daily readers" steadily declines
throughout 
the  teen years. The study also found that those children who do
read 
daily are most likely to  read on an electronic device.    State-
Funded 
PreK Movement Maintains Momentum  (Educational Marketer – June 19, 
2006)  Despite recent defeats in both California and Florida, the
PreK 
initiative has retained  much of its forward momentum. Currently,
38 
states fund at least one preschool initiative  and the number of 
accredited early childhood programs has doubled between 1995 and 
2005. 
This spring, 24 governors proposed a total of $250 million in
funding 
for preschool  initiatives in fiscal 2007, compared to 20 governors 
last year, of which 19 received more  money. State funding for 
preschool rose 7.5% between 2002 and 2005, from $2.6 billion  to
more 
than $2.8 billion. However, the growth in spending has been outpaced
by 
pupil  enrollment, resulting in decreased spending per pupil.

INDUSTRY NEWS
Condé Nast Selling Three Fairchild Titles  (Circulation Management 
Magazine – June 21, 2006)
Condé Nast Publications will sell its Supermarket News, Home 
Furnishings News and  InFurniture titles. The company acquired the 
titles in 1999 for a reported $650 million.  Approximately 70
editorial 
and other staff will be affected by the sale.    Elle’s Middle
Eastern 
Edition Balances Fashion and Tradition  (Wall Street Journal – June
20, 
2006)  Elle magazine is set to debut its first Middle East edition
this 
week. The issue will arrive  on newsstands in Lebanon, Jordan and 
Morocco on June 23 rd; it will attempt to translate  a western brand
to 
Middle Eastern norms. Condé Nast Publications Inc., the publisher
of  
Vogue and Vanity Fair, does not currently have plans to create
Middle 
East editions of  any of its other magazines.
