Interesting thing about daily newspapers.

Surprise you? Well, it’s a fact. In a recent North 3 American survey, 78% of the people interviewed said they actually prefer a newspaper with ads to one with- out. They like the advertising. In contrast, 54% would rather have TV without ads, and 61 % would prefer radio without ads : In another survey validated by the Canadian Advertis- ing Research Foundation, 71% of those interviewed said they find television commercials irritating, and 13 % said the same of radio. In contrast, only 8% said they were irritated by newspaper advertising.

What’s more, Canadians not only like newspaper adver-

tising, they’re influenced to buy because of it. 83° of those interviewed described newspaper ads as a guide to day-to-day shopping. Only 6% considered television, and 3% radio, in this same light. Yes, Canadians are a nation of readers. 12,400,000 people read a daily newspaper every week day. They read the paper for local, world,-and social news; for entertainment; and for the ads. And many like news- ads so much, they'd rather read a paper with themp>than one without. Interesting fact. Especially to the advertisers.
