What is it that you like to read about in the Eastern Daily Press newspaper or online?

Ask 10 people and you'll probably get 10 different answers.

Well, we asked 3,500 of our print readers and over the last few weeks I've been sharing with you some of the results and how they are and will continue to inform the decisions we make to improve your newspaper.

Today, I'd like to turn the attention to subject matters and the topics you enjoy reading about in the newspaper - plus the ones you don't.

In many ways it shows how hard it can be to be an editor (of course I would say that wouldn't I?).

There are numerous subjects matters which clearly remain like Marmite to many people, some love them and perhaps would like more, others feel completely the opposite. These subjects include Norwich City, television listings, puzzles and more.

Then we have the subjects that probably matter massively if they directly impact your lives, but less so if they don't. I'd include education, mental health and campaigns in this category.

And then there are the more clear cut ones. I'm pleased to read that subjects like health, community news, crime, politics, local government, What's On, our Weekend pull-out and more scored highly in the survey and remain of vital importance to so many of you. We are already we're working to improve further in these core areas.

Some areas that scored less favourably - take our now defunct Heaven pull-out - have already been acted upon.

Meanwhile, the survey has also identified areas where maybe we need to give more of a focus than we currently do, environment issues being one that clearly resonates with a large number of people. Watch out for more on that one over the next few weeks and months.

If you took the time to take part in the survey, thank you very much, the information has been invaluable and I will use this column to update you on the continued evolution of our newspaper and website.

If you didn't then, never fear, we'll look to repeat it in the very near future.
