Jacobin blames publishers for reading decline
The left-wing magazine Jacobin has published an argument that declining reading rates are the fault of publishers rather than readers, pointing to decisions in the industry such as high prices, consolidation and marketing choices. Readers are debating whether structural pressures on publishing or shifting cultural habits deserve more blame for fewer people reading books.
Why now: The piece challenges the common narrative that declining reading is caused by smartphones or attention spans, sparking debate about the publishing industry's role.
