LITERETURE REVIEW

1. Edward C. Malthouse, Bobby J. Calder, Wayne P. Eadie (2003). To measure magazine readership in terms of the behavior of readers. To measure the subjective, qualitative experiences that people have when they read magazines. These experiences represent the strengths of the medium. There may be strategic reasons for any individual magazine to discount one or more of them, otherwise individual magazines ignore them at their peril. They represent a new, more complete way of looking at the value that magazines provide. 2. Bobby J. Calder and Edward C. MalthouseFrom Northwestern University, USA.To understand the experience of reading a newspaper. Media management must have to improve both content and advertising, to increasing readership. Stronger consumer experiences increase reader usage. Experiences motivate or inhibit reading. 3. Edward C. Malthouse and Bobby J. Calder (2004)To understand the experiences involved in reading a magazine. The magazine as not coming in a timely wayis to increaseconsumer commitment by migrating light users to heavier users. The experience of television may be quite different from the magazine and newspaper experiences identified here. 4.
