Study finds television hasn't changed adult reading habits
A Yankelovich study for the Book Industry Study Group finds 55 of 100 adults read a book in the last six months and 10 in 100 read 10 or more books, while 39 read magazines and newspapers but not books. TV time averages 15 hours weekly for readers, 24 hours for those who read nothing. The report notes readers are typically female, educated, affluent, white and young, with heavy readers often being well-to-do housewives.
