　　Not everybody reads the daily newspaper. People who don’ t read newspaper are sometimes referred to as nonreaders. Early research has shown that the non-readers are generally low in education and low in income, either very young or very old. In addition, non-readers are more likely to live in rural areas and have less contact with neighbors and friends. Other studies show that non-readers tend to separate themselves from the community and less likely to own a home and seldom belong to local organizations.

　　Why don’t these people read daily paper? They say they don’t have the time, they prefer radio or TV, they have no interest in reading a tale and besides they think newspapers are too expensive. Recent research, however, has shown that the non-readers are far from the first thought. There appears to be a group of non-readers that do not fit the type mentioned above. They are high in income and fall into the age group of 26 to 65. They are far more likely to report that they don’t have time to read the papers and they have no interest in the content. Editors and publishers are trying to win them back. First, they are adding news briefs and indexes. This will help solve the time problem. And they are also giving variety to newspaper content to help build the reader’s interest.
