Reading Experience:

Evidence:

'I read the Daily Herald because it gives full account of the news, It is rather inclined to be "partly" and sometimes rather dull. The Sunday Graphic is an excellent paper, containing interesting articles and something of everything, I like the Daily Sketch because of its wonderful photographs and its good news accounts.'
