THE editorial and advertising functions of weekly newspapers have long been recognised as serving individual local communities in a way unmatched by any other medium. There is no other medium which reaches the heart of a community so economically and with so little overspill. The objectives of this research were to measure


readership and readers attitudes to weekly papers and other media and thus to go some way towards defining how they are regarded and used. The results, examples below, provide qualitative values to help advertisers understand the character and effectiveness of weekly newspapers. 'Source: Research Surveys of Great Britain.
