Slate Pushes Back on the Latest 'End of Reading' Claim
Original: Articles Like the Atlantic’s Keep Declaring “The End of Reading.” Enough Already.
Slate has published a piece criticizing recurring media declarations that reading is dying, singling out a recent Atlantic article claiming the end of reading. The argument is that such alarmist think pieces appear regularly, recycling the same anxieties about attention spans and screens, and that the trend of pronouncing reading dead has itself become tired and predictable.
Why now: Reactions to a widely read Atlantic piece on the decline of reading have sparked debate about whether the concern is genuinely new or just another recycled moral panic.
