* Sample sizes: Australia: n = 2,042 Brazil (urban areas): n = 2,033 Denmark: n = 2,019 France: n = 1,991 Finland: n = 1,509 Germany: n = 1,969 Ireland: n = 1,501 Italy: n = 2,006 Japan: n = 2,017 Spain: n = 2,026, United Kingdom: n = 2,149 United States: n = 2,295.
The source did not provide information on the age of the respondents. The data was weighted to reflect the entire country's population. The source also made the following remarks: 1. "This is an online survey – and as such the results will underrepresent the consumption habits of people who are not online (typically older, less affluent, and with limited formal education)" 2. "We filtered out anyone who said that they had not consumed any news in the past month, in order to ensure that irrelevant responses didn’t adversely affect data quality. This category was between one percent and three percent in most countries but as high as eight percent in the UK." Survey question was stated as: "Have you bought (paid for) a printed newspaper in the last week?"
