Book readers were also asked what kind of literature they were reading, and paper and magazine readers were asked about what kind of paper/magazine they read.

The survey also includes detailed information on at what time the day before the respondent spent time reading morning paper, evening paper, listening to the radio or watching television. There is also more detailed information on which news magazines the respondent watched. The respondents also had to state what kind of advertisements they had been reading/looking to the day before.
