Bus/Financial - Printing & Publishing / source info of online article
German term or phrase: Auflage - PI: 311.184
This is a financial article which has been taken from a newspaper article online. The header contains the source information, such as name of paper (Quelle); date (Quelldatum); page (Quellseite) and *Auflage - Pl: 311.184*; then the author. I am not certain if *Pl* stands for *Platz* here, although it seems to refer to the subscription site (location), given the numbers which follow. Is there a standard term for this in English?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions,

Vera

Jonathan MacKerron: 4:02pm Jun 21, 2008: Poland??
Vera H.: 4:13pm Jun 21, 2008: Poland - I really don't think so, this article is from the FAZ (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung), and it is online.

circulation - PI
Explanation:
PI = Page Impressions (Seitenaufrufe)

depending on the type of article (print oder online), the figure refers to "circulation" or "page impressions"

"Während die Print-Reichweiten zurückgehen, gewinnen Zeitungen im Internet an Bedeutung. Zwischen September 2003 und September 2007 haben Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Süddeutsche Zeitung und Die Welt die Zahl ihrer Page Impressions (PI, Abrufe einzelner Seiten) jeweils mehr als verdreifacht."

Auflage - Pl: 311.184 circulation - Pl: 311,184

Explanation:
Half an answer: this appears to be reference info, and in this context I imagine 'Auflage' means circulation. I'm not sure what 'Pl' means -- perhaps a classification or category?

Of course, 'Auflage' could also be 'print run' (the more usual meaning), but I don't know whether this information is normally reported by publishers of newspapers and periodicals in Germany.

  -> If you copy 'Pl' to a Word doc and look at the second character, it's a '1'. Of course, this may be an encoding error or a typo, but it's not clear to me that it should be read as a lower-case 'l'.
