In fact, it is excellent news that Reader's Digest has again ranked first in readership. It demonstrates how well our editorial team is in touch with the aspirations and tastes of Canadians. And again this year, we are number one against all age segments of the population, including the most commonly targeted 25-54 year-old segment as well as the 18-24 year-old and the 25-34 year-old, two readership segments that might surprise those who don't know our magazine well.
