Norwegian media barometer
We watch more television
Sixty-three per cent of the Norwegian population read newspapers on an average day in 2011, compared to 64 per cent in 2010. This is not a clear change, but it continues the declining trend from the preceding years. Even though the percentage of TV viewers has not increased, we spend more time watching TV than we have done in the last 2-3 years. The percentage of book readers has not been higher for 20 years.
