Interviewer instructions

The purpose of this question is to find out whether the respondent is exposed to influences outside her local community by means of reading newspapers or magazines. It does not matter what type of articles she reads, what language she reads in, or who buys the newspapers or magazines she reads. The question is simply about how often she reads them. Make sure that you read the entire question. It is important that the respondent hears all the four categories embodied in the question.

If the respondent tells you that she is reading newspapers on the internet, this should still be considered as exposure to newspapers. The objective is to collect information on whether respondents are accessing newspapers, and if so, how frequently.

Circle '1' if the respondent reads a newspaper or magazine almost every day, '2' if she reads it at least once a week, '3' if less than once a week and '4' if she does not read at all.
