Survey Lets Corry Journal Readers Rate Coverage
The Corry Evening Journal’s first readership survey shows readers are loyal and varied in opinion. Women responded more than men with the 35 to 40 age group most represented and some responses from younger readers. Most say the paper keeps them informed and coverage is good in country, sports, society and school news, with about a quarter calling it excellent in those areas. Readers prefer steady coverage on traffic, arrests, police news, obituaries, and social events, while many dislike the current comic lineup. About 58 percent find the material highly accurate, 16 percent very high, 19 percent some confidence, and 7 percent little confidence in fairness. Opinions on the Journal as a newspaper and a source vary, with 23 percent calling it very fair, 4 percent fair, 21 percent average, 5 percent unfair, and 4 percent very unfair.
