Reader's Digest is reducing its rate base and frequency as it redirects resources to new media and digital initiatives worldwide. The US edition of the magazine will slowly trim its rate base from 8 million to 5.5 million over the course of 18 months, starting with the February 2010 issue. Cuts will be focused on less profitable and less loyal subscriptions.
