Los Angeles Times Survey


Last night e-mail arrived from the Los Angeles Times asking if I would take a brief survey. Having taken many other online surveys, that also claimed to be brief, I waited a few moments before giving the Times survey my attention.

I’m happy to report the survey was only five pages long, with the first page asking for the names of seven writers I enjoy reading. The second page consisted of the seven columns I read most often.

The next three pages gave the names of writers, with multiple-choice answers such as, do you recognize this writer, do you read their articles, etc.

Makes me wonder if this might be a way to judge the most popular writers to keep with the newspaper before the cuts take place?
