Interviewer instructions
The purpose of this question is to find out whether the respondent is exposed to influences outside his local community by means of reading newspapers or magazines. It does not matter what type of articles he reads, what language he reads in, or who buys the newspapers or magazines he reads. The question is simply about how often he 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 he 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 he reads it at least once a week, '3' if less than once a week and '4' if he does not read at all.
