Reading Matters was the original slogan for the International Publishers Congress. This report gathers together the results of multiple surveys from around the world that look at reading habits as well as initiatives to encourage people to read more.
The analysis of surveys looks at the different methodologies but tries to bring the results together to create a clear picture of which groups within society are reading more or reading less. The report isn’t just a snapshot though, it builds on this analysis and current best practices to look to the future.
