Army newspapers must occasionally conduct a survey of their readers and forward the results to higher headquarters. A bonus gleaned from this is that we get to see how you, our faithful readers, feel , about the Sampler. Our survey asked 25 ques tions, 22 of which are required by regulation. The remaining three were ones we thought would help us improve our product. Of the nearly 400 surveys distributed we receive 177 back. Although we would have liked to have had more, we were able to analyze the responses and arrive at the conclusions listed below. A few facts about the survey should be noted: All questions were not answered by everyone who filled out the surveys, either thru omission, or human error or by choice. No points were given for unanswered .. questions. The names of those who received the surveys were randomly selected from the latest available telephone directory and our mailing list. The results of this survey will be used to help make changes in the format and content of future Samplers. Demographic data . Sepfiemfber asked for in the survey allowed us to separate the results into three categories. Military. Civilian and Other. The 'Others are those who failed to indicate which group they belonged to, listedboth, or arrived after we had started to tabulate the results. We have attempted to be as fair, impartial and accurate as humanly possible, but, being human we probably have errored somewhere. - We want to thank everyone who participated for their time and patience, so enough said, here are the tions addressed editorials (59 percent said we had enough), features (again the majority said we had enough) and current events. The civilians who responded felt that although we covered awards and cere- monies about right, we still could stand to have a few more. What do the civilians want to see more of? In .order of preference, local news, travel and awards and cere- monies. What do they want to see less of? Most indicated less sports and editorials. An figures: Civilian Responses: Of those who responded, interesting facet of this response was that 26 percent had no opinion. Our civilian readers felt for the most part that the 66 percent read every issue of The Sampler. 1 53 percent found The art, illustrations, content and photography in The Sampler Sampler a reliable source of news. As for believability of our paper, fans who responded 72 percent felt there is about the right amount of military news in the paper. 66 percent feel there is about enough sports in the paper, while 20 percent felt there is too much emphasis on sports and 5 percent felt there wasn't enough. A head scratcher was noted in the responses to the amount of travel information in the paper, those who thought there wasn't enough tied with those who thought there was about enough. Most of the other ques . 11-1- 7, was good. Military Results: For the most part, our military readers responded similarly to our civilian readers. Our. military readers feel that we have about enough military news, sports, . editorials and commentaries and feature stories. The majority of the military readers felt we did not have enough travel. The military felt that we give enough coverage to awards and ceremonies, but could use more. What do our soldiers . 1 topi-calcontrovers- ial found their Sampler good in art, illustration, photo- graphy, overall appearance and content. Where do you get your paper, was a question asked, and even though they are supposed to be delivered to every home, only 57 percent of the responding civilians and 49 percent of the military got their copeis at the door. A majority of the respondents found our advertising useful and on behalf of those advertisers, we thank you for reading and using the ads. It's through your continued patronage of our advertisers that we are able to bring you the paper. A special thanks to Maj. John Rasmusson of Ft. Devens, MA who prepared the survey and the formulas for doing it right while he was here as a Mobilization Designee last winter, to Marcella Edwards for helping me get them out and tabulate the results, and to the mailroom for being so understanding. flyovers and static displays of aircraft will be featured at the Hill Air Froce Base Open House from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sept 17.
