They spent very little time reading newspaper. Some of the factors that are contributed to low readership of newspaper are; most of them listen to radio and television. They have less access to newspaper as well as their families challenged with economic problems. Apart from that, it was found that they read to satisfy their cognitive and social integrative needs. The study also found that there were significant differences in their habits and motives of reading newspaper across age groups. Older students obtained higher mean scores than younger students in terms of their habits and motives in reading newspaper.

Female students were found to read more than male students. On the other hand, no significant differences were found between male and female students in terms of their opinions concerning the motives of reading newspaper.
