Print Reader Survey

The physical edition's audience: ritual, sections kept, and the digital relationship.

4 questions · 1 page · about 2 minutes to answer · fully editable after you start

Print survives on ritual, and publishers pruning pages need to know which rituals hold. This survey maps the print relationship: reading occasions and habits, sections that justify the purchase versus flip-past filler, the keep-or-recycle afterlife, and how print and the website divide the reader's attention.

The would-miss-most answers protect the sections that carry the cover price; cutting them saves paper and loses the reader.
