A quote taken out of context from here:
Many people still read home-delivered print (more than you might think). Print readership isn’t directly measurable, but there are plenty of research tools that all report a decline in frequency — and along with it, engagement with civic life.
This bugs me. I’m not doubting that engagement with “civic life” drops when you remove the source of information about it. I’m just wondering what it gets replaced with. I feel more engaged with civic life in my city than I ever did when I actively bought print media. I’d like to think I’m not unusual in that regard.
