READERSHIP

STUDY

OF

THE FAIRBURY

BLADE

(2)

(3)

Digitized

by

the

Internet

interest in home-town

v.eekly

newspapers

is

intense,

if a

readership study of

the

April

18,

1947

issue

of The

Fairbury Blade, conducted April

22,

is

a

fair indication.

The

study

v.-as

based

on

personal interviews

with

74

readers

living

in

the

city

of

Fair-bury,

in

the

nearby

villa,q;e

of

Forrest,

and

on

the

farms

surrounding Fairbury.

The

readers

included

61

women

and

13

men.

Of these,

35

lived

on farms and

39

lived in Fairbury

and

Forrest.

Each reader

intervievred

was asked

what

he

or

she had read

in

the last issue

of

The

Blade

during

the

four days since receiving

it.

Each

was asked,

also,

several standard

questions regarding

his

or

her

reading habits

of the

nev.'spaper.

The

answers of all persons

interviewed

were

tabulated,

and

from the resulting data conclusions were drawn.

The

study

revealed

tliat

the

average reader spends

46.6

minxites

on

each

issue

of

The

Blade.

It

revealed that,

on the average,

the

reader

looks

at

the

paper 3.04 times before

putting

it

on

a

shelf

or

otherwise

disposing

of

it,

and

that

The

Blade

is

kept

within

the

home

of

the

subscriber for

an average

period

of

8.92

days.

Fm-ther,

it

was found that the

average

copy

was read

by 2.85

persons

within

the

home

of

the subscriber

and

then,

in 48

per cent of the cases,

lent

for reading outside

of

tiie

subscriber's

home.

In answ^er

to the question,

"Do

you

read

regularly any

other publication?",

87.8

per

cent

replied that

they

read

one

or

more

magazines,

91.9

per

cent

replied that they are

readers of

one or

more

daily newspapers and 22.9 per

cent

that

they read another

weekly

newspaper.

Despite

the

fact

that readership

of

Blade

subscribers

is

not restricted to

that

one

publication,

the reading in general,

by both men

and

women,

is

intense

and well

distributed

throughout the newspaper.

As might

be

eixpected,

male readers preferred

news

of

a

political

aixi

business

nature but

v^ere

aLniost

equally interested

in

news

of

a

social

nature.

The composite percentage figures

on

the most-read news

From

the

above

figures

tvv-o

interesting and pertinent facts

can be

ascertained.

First,

that

classified

advertising

b^s

a

higher readership than display advertising and

second,

that

local

display advertising

has

a

higher readership than

natioral

advertising despite

the

greater

amount

of

ad

space

utilized by

the

liatter.

One advertisement,

that

of

Walton's Department

Store,

had

a

readership

68

per

cent

greater than

that of the second best read

ad.

Three factors

probably influenced

this

re-sult.

V>alton's

and

as

A

few

conclusions

might

be dravm from

the

study

of

page traffic.

The

page

location

in

so

small

a

newspaper

h^s

little

if

any

irJ'luence

on

the readership

of

any

page.

The

pages

nearer the front of the

ne^/repeper

ha.d

slightly higher readership

than

those nearer

the

beck.

Left

tend pages,

generally credited

with

dravdng higher

readersl-dp

than

right

hand

pages.

lower

(except page

The

traffic was definitely influenced by the

material on the

page

with

local

nev;s,

pictures

and

promotional advertisements influencing

high

page

readership.

For

example,

the

classified

advertising column

on

page

4

probably

was

responsible

for

giving

tliat

page

the

highest

readership

in

the

paper

The

editor did

a

good

job

of

appraising the reader interest
