Abstract
This study among other things looked at how variables like sex, educational
qualification and income influence newspaper readership. It also sought general
information on newspaper readership in Port Harcourt. Two major hypotheses were
tested. These are that majority of the people in Port Harcourt will read at least one
newspaper daily and that majority of the people in Port Harcourt prefer to read a
newspaper from their state of origin to a national newspaper. Three minor
hypotheses were also tested. The survey research method was employed and the
questionnaire was used as instrument to elicit information from respondents.
Simple percentages were used to analyse data collected. The first major hypothesis
was supported by findings of the study, while the second major hypothesis was not
supported. The three minor hypotheses were all supported. The study
recommended more comprehensive studies on newspaper readership in Port
Harcourt and other parts of the country.
