This statistic shows the results of a survey on reading habits and the usage of newspapers, magazines and books in Germany from 2021 to 2023. During the most recent survey period in 2023, it was found that around 38 percent of the German-speaking population aged 14 years and older agreed with the statement "I tend to read magazines that interest me very thoroughly, especially longer articles". The Allensbach Market and Advertising Media Analysis (Allensbacher Markt- und Werbeträgeranalyse or AWA in German) determines attitudes, consumer habits and media usage of the population in Germany on a broad statistical basis.
