Cork News suspended by circulation watchdog

The Cork News freesheet newspaper has been suspended by the ABC (Audit Bureau of Circulations) — the industry body for circulation measurement — until it apologies to the Irish Examiner for supplying incorrect figures to an advertising agency.

ABC which is “governed by the industry, for the industry,” has ruled against Cork News and Media Limited, publishers of the Cork News, for quoting invalid figures for the Irish Examiner and Cork News in a communication with an advertising agency.

ABC said in upholding its complaint against Cork News and Media Limited it had decided to suspended the registration of the Cork News for one month.
