More than three in four Canadians read newspaper content across print, digital and mobile platforms each week according to the latest readership study by Newspaper Audience Databank (NADbank).
Overall reach of daily newspapers in Canada has remained stable, with a slight decline in print readership off-set by the growth of online and mobile readership. The 2013 study also shows that nearly six out of 10 readers choose to read only print editions while move than one in three Canadians consume online newspaper content each week.
NADbank President, Anne Crassweller, says the results show “newspapers continue to offer Canadians the quality content readers are looking for. The stability in readership is due to strong newspaper brands broadening their distribution of content across new digital platforms.”
