Fwd: A PROFILE OF THE 2005 DIALOGUE READERS


The Modal Dialogue Reader

The modal respondent to our Dialogue questionnaire was a home-owning,
married man over fifty years of age with a post-graduate degree and is
already retired, or (if still in the work world) is looking toward
retirement. He is a resident of either Utah or California and is a
life-long member of the LDS Church and a returned missionary, who
attends Sacrament Meeting virtually every week. He regularly reads the
Ensign and many other religion-oriented publications besides Dialogue,
of which he reads half or more of every issue; and he has been a
subscriber for at least 10 years. He finds the editorial tone
and content of Dialogue to be generally objective, and he feels that the jo=
urnal
contributes to his spiritual and religious enrichment. He is inclined
to be supportive of LDS programs and policies, though he might
express some dissent privately to leaders before going along; and he
regards the Book of Mormon as a divinely inspired document, even if it
is not literal history.
