Reading is the main part of education. Newspaper reading habit is considered a very useful activity for the students, as it increases their knowledge and information. This study is designed to measure the newspaper reading habits among the undergraduates in Afghanistan universities as well as their favorite content. A quantitative approach was used to collect the data of the study. As for this purpose, 420 questionnaires were distributed among the undergraduates in 12 public universities of the country. Subsequently, SPSS software was applied to analyse the gathered data. The results showed that the newspaper reading habit among the undergraduate students is very low. Most of them read newspaper sometimes in a typical week. They spent a very less amount of time in the reading newspaper. The undergraduates read a newspaper to satisfy their personal and social integrative needs. The findings of the study will be very helpful for both students and newspapers organizations to inculcate the habits of reading newspaper in society. Inculcating the habits of reading newspaper in the society will create knowing persons that have the ability to adapt to the changes and lead the society towards developments.
