COMMUNITY PROBLEMS.
In a readership survey the
strongest motivation for reading the editorial and opinion pages was “to feel I am participating in current events.” This was followed by “to keep up with the latest events,” “ to determine what is important,” “to use in discussions with my friends,” “to help me make decisions on issues,” “to strengthen my arguments on issues,” and “to help me form opinions about things going on around me.” The fact that reading the editorial page can be considered a form of participation in current events indicates its value as a forum for the public expression of ideas.
After reading this article, if you are not motivated to write to your hometown paper perhaps you will appreciate people who do write. SEE DOWNLOAD AT END OF SESSION
