 PROFILE
One hundred million readers. Forty-eight editions. Nineteen languages. One undersized magazine. The Reader's Digest Association (RDA) publishes the world's #1 general interest magazine, "Reader's Digest," which is translated into 19 languages for its 100 million readers. The company also uses its extensive consumer database (considered one of the best in the world) to market books (Reader's Digest Select Editions, how-to, cookbooks), special-interest magazines (including "The Family Handyman," and "Walking"), music, and videos, as well as financial and health products. RDA has had to struggle with its stodgy image and new direct mail sweepstakes regulations.
