Among the 611 participants, 519 respondents (85.0%) expressed satisfaction with the current ‘Guri News,’ while negative opinions such as slight dissatisfaction (16 people, 2.6%) or strong dissatisfaction (9 people, 1.5%) accounted for only 25 people (4.1%).

Regarding circulation, the majority of 448 respondents (73.3%) felt that the current print run of 85,000 copies was ‘appropriate.’ Concerning the booklet size, 306 respondents (50.1%) felt that the current B5 size was ‘a bit small (should be larger than now),’ exceeding half of the participants.

The most favored article in ‘Guri News’ was ‘Cartoon Guri,’ chosen by 241 respondents (39.4%), followed by the citizen participation section ‘Puzzle Event’ (230 people, 37.6%), and ‘A Word in My Life,’ which introduces phrases that have inspired citizens along with their stories (223 people, 36.5%).
