Magazine moment 2021
Reasons for not reading magazine content in digital format: the reading
experience is compared to reading print magazines – compared to digital
formats, the concrete magazine feels nice and manageable
“I can browse the magazine, leave it open and pick it up later. When you have a stack of magazines on a table, you
can choose which one you want to read at any given time. A physical magazine allows you to focus on reading
without having to fiddle with a digital device.”
– man, 72
“I like browsing a magazine. You tend to notice sections that you might miss if you read the digital version.”
– woman, 63
“I enjoy reading a physical magazine. I like having something concrete in my hand, and looking at the pictures is
also nicer when you read the print version.”
– woman, 15
“I want to read and hold a physical magazine, to browse it and go back to the beginning when I want to. It’s easier
to handle than a digital device, especially if you’re lying down on your sofa.”
– woman, 67
“The mobile views of an article are often small and I prefer traditional print magazines.”
– woman, 25
“It’s impractical. I want to read and scan the entire article, not just the small part that fits the screen of a smart
device. Sometimes I’ll look for an old article in the digital version if I unexpectedly want to show it to a friend.”

Among the respondents who do not read magazine content in digital format, n = 512

34.
Magazine moment 2021
Reasons for not reading magazines in digital format: consumption of
digital media is high anyway, print media provides variation and the
ability to limit the reading session
“Life is already full of digital content. I don’t want any more of it if I have other options”
– man, 37
“I spend enough time looking at screens as it is, with the world today being so digital (work, banking, etc.). I enjoy
the feel of a print magazine and the variation it offers to looking at screens.”
– man, 42
“I read newspapers in digital format and that’s enough for me. A magazine is a thing in itself, like a book. You don’t
just browse it or scan it, like you might when it comes to the day’s news headlines. When you read a magazine, you
take your time and solve a crossword puzzle, for example.”
– woman, 68
“At work I spend eight hours a day sitting in front of a screen. I want to rest my eyes at lunch and in the evening.
The concrete print edition is kinder on your eyes (the adverse impact of blue light) and when you read content
printed on paper, the muscles of the eye get to move more than when you read content on a narrow digital device.”
– woman, 32
Among the respondents who do not read magazine content in digital format, n = 512

Reasons for not reading magazines in digital format:
the print magazine is easier to focus on
“When you use a phone, you spent time reading various discussion forums and such instead of magazines”
– woman, 31
“Digital media increases your stress levels, paper magazines reduce them.”
– woman, 63
“Reading a digital magazine doesn’t feel natural. It’s difficult to focus on digital content.”
– man, 31
“I find it easier to focus on reading a magazine in paper format. If I read a magazine in digital format, I tend to do
something else online instead of reading the magazine.”
– woman, 38
“When you read, you focus (you need to focus and you can focus) much more than when you watch TV, listen to
the radio or use a mobile phone.”

How is reading digital content different from reading a
print magazine: digital is easily accessible
“In the digital edition you can find just about anything depending on what you feel like reading about”
– woman, 44
“Digital content is always with you and it doesn’t take up extra space.”
– woman, 26
“The digital content is always with you, even when you’re not at home. The paper version is more pleasant to read
and it’s faster to find the sections you’re looking for.”
– man, 49
“The digital magazine is always with you in your mobile device, as are the magazine’s archives, which makes it easy
to go back to an interesting story. I have the full annual volumes of certain magazines on my shelf. Nevertheless, if I
need to read something in a previous edition, I tend to use the digital archive because it’s easy to use and finding
the story you’re looking for is faster as long as the digital archive extends back to the period in question.”
– man, 59
“Digital versions are nice to read on the screen of my mobile phone; for example, at night when I’m tucked under
the blanket.”

How is reading digital content different from reading a print
magazine: digital content is read one article at a time, whereas
print readers read the entire magazine
“Reading articles in digital format is OK, but I don’t want to read an entire magazine on my phone, for example. I value the print
version more highly (and the same goes for books).”
– woman, 42
“When you read a print magazine, you get a curated whole. When you read a digital magazine, you read individual articles.”
– man, 38
“When you read the digital version, you browse the headlines rather than read the articles themselves. When you read the
print version, you read it in order, one article at a time”
– woman, 54
“When you read a digital magazine, you tend to just browse the headlines. When you read the print version, you are more likely
to read the full article”
– woman, 20
“I’m more picky about choosing which articles to read in a digital magazine. When I read a print magazine, I almost always read
most of the articles.”
– man, 27
“I only read a few articles. I’m more picky. I might not finish an article I start reading. Reading digital content feels more rushed

How is reading digital content different from reading a
print magazine: richness of the experience, the feel
“I enjoy the feel of a magazine and even the way it smells. Browsing a physical magazine is nicer than browsing a
digital edition.”
– woman, 65
“When I read a print magazine, I like scanning the entire page and read all the little captions. I like the feel of a
physical magazine. You just don’t get that same feeling when you read the digital version. I often stop reading in the
middle of an article when some notification or other stimulus pops up.”
– woman, 23
“The print magazine has a better feel. I appreciate the visual layout and the way it feels in your hand.”
– woman, 27
“Reading a digital version feels more distant. Reading a paper version feels more personal and the magazine is
easier to handle.”
– man, 55
“Bringing it out and browsing it is not as appealing because you don’t see it lying around and the reading never
happens half accidentally, as is the case with a print magazine. Then again, the digital version is convenient to
access when you’re not at home and you need to wait for something.”
– man, 65
“When you stare at your phone and read something online, it lacks the richness of experience. You can genuinely
relax when you read a paper magazine on your sofa or out on your lawn and you’re not always holding your phone.”
– woman, 24
