The Audit Bureau of Circulations' board approved sweeping changes in the way newspapers report circulation.

Among the changes: Newspapers that publish so-called "branded editions" -- products a paper publishes under a different  name such as commuter dailies or Spanish-language newspapers - can now include them in their total average circulation. And papers that publish in many forms -- print, mobile, e-readers, etc. -- may be able to count one subscriber multiple times.
