The British are among the most enthusiastic newspaper readers of Europe, a new survey concludes.

The study, which is one of the largest ever conducted, shows that 70 percent of all UK readers spend more than 21 minutes on their newspaper and 30 percent even reads it for more than 41 minutes. In the runner up country Norway only 56 and 16 percent respectively do the same.

Also, 63 percent of all UK readers feel their newspaper is good value for money, which is far higher than the European average of 39 percent.
