Plasticos Modernos magazine, sanctioned by the Association of professional press with expulsion

At its meeting on 18 June, the directive Board of the Association of professional press (APP) agreed to cancel as a partner at Focitec, editor of the Revista de Plasticos Modernos, in view of the manifest breach of the statutory regulations thatin defence of its advertisers, it has established this organization that brings together 75 publishers and more than 250 magazines of various sectors. For more than two years, Plasticos Modernos did not audit by the OJD and ceased to report that its spread is less than 3,000 copies, according to an alternative that the APP is proposing to whom the costs of the audit of OJD may pose a true obstacle (about 200,000 pesetas per year for a monthly magazine of one) (circulation around 5,000 copies). The statutes of the APP are forcing open the dissemination to an internationally recognized audit as being valid for all types of publlicaciones - both general information and the professional magazines: the Office of justification of dissemination (OJD), Federated to the International Federation of offices of audit of the dissemination (International Federation of Audit Bureau of Circulation)(: IF-ABC). As a result, Plasticos Modernos is no longer be authorised to publish on their website of credits, from its issue of July, the logo of the APP. However, lesta Association of editors has made known also to Revista de Plasticos Modernos which, if you want to belong to it must reapply for discharge, which you will be extended if formally undertakes to provide this information to its advertisers or to be audited by OJD... Other magazines of the sector, Plast XXI and Fetraplast, already does not belong to the APP since this ethical standard that determines the status of partner, because its editors are not audit any of their journals or wish to report to its advertisers that its spread is less than 3,000 copies was established in 1992.
