Online readers still enjoy printed car magazines (question of the week)
In the decades following the Second World War, car magazines boomed, and almost everyone with a slight interest in the automobile bought them from newsagents or subscribed to them. Reading them was part of everyday life. This changed with the advent of the internet and the new generations who grew up with it. Today, automotive magazines almost lead a shadowy existence in kiosks or at highway service stations. Online alternatives have emerged and offer faster information for little or no money. Is this a reason to do without traditional car magazines? We wanted to find out from Zwischengas readers in a " question of the week" .
And lo and behold, printed magazines are much more popular than the media prophets would have us believe. In fact, 61.2 percent of the 400 or so Zwischengas users who took part in the survey still buy car magazines regularly or even subscribe to them.
11.5 percent occasionally buy a magazine at the newsstand, but no longer have a subscription.
14.8 percent only rarely buy printed magazines.
Not quite ten percent do not buy printed magazines at all, 7.0 percent still read a magazine from time to time but do not have to buy one. And 2.3 percent do without printed material completely and would not spend any money on it.
3.3 percent did not find themselves in any of the answers given.
Overall, however, around three quarters of Zwischengas readers still have a favorable opinion of the printed automotive magazine, which should certainly please the hard-working magazine editors.
Here is the evaluation in graphic form:
The next "question of the week" has already been posed. This time we want to know whether Zwischengas readers would retrofit a missing wing mirror to their old car.
Of course, you can still read all the previous questions of the weekin the specially created topic channel.
