Survey says readers want newspaper changes Published Nov. 26, 2008 By Capt. S.J. Brown 934th Airlift Wing Public Affairs Minneapolis, Minn. -- For the first time ever, the 934th Public Affairs office conducted its annual newspaper readership survey with the 934th Service's Squadron's Services Courier survey during the wing commander's annual commander's call here Oct. 5. And the results were rather eye-opening to members of both staffs, the main comment by pollsters being to add more details to the two publications. About 10 percent of the military members present at the commander's call completed the survey. Of those, more than 85 percent said they got the majority of their news from the Viking Flyer and 75 percent said they read the publication monthly. All-in-all, the majority of readers who took the survey said they were happy with the design and size of the newspaper but would like to see more photos of people and more details on other Air Force units. One issue that the PA office is investigating is the fact that less than a quarter of the participants claimed to have received their newspapers on time at their home address. To ensure your Viking Flyer reaches you, you should ensure your home address is updated with the Military Personnel Flight here. The bottom line is your voice was heard and the PA office staff will try hard to comply with all survey takers' suggestions.
