Honolulu ranks among top metro areas in newspaper readership

Honolulu ranks among the top metropolitan areas when it comes to adults who have either read a newspaper or a newspaper Web site during the past week.

Newspaper ratings service Scarborough Research found Honolulu ranked in the top fourth of 81 metropolitan areas it surveyed, with 82 percent of adults reading either the printed page, home page or both of a newspaper during a one-week period.

That was higher than the national average of 75 percent. Rochester, New York had the highest usage at 87 percent while Last Vegas and Bakersfield, Calif. were lowest at 59 percent.
