ABC staff will work with newspapers to test the reporting and auditing of any product or measurable interaction you wish to include on the report. All data to be included on a CMR must be audited by ABC. However, this audited data does not entitle the individual products that do not hold regular membership in ABC to represent or claim that they are "members" of ABC, nor are these non-member products permitted to use the ABC insignia/logo within their publications, letterhead, or advertising and marketing materials.
