- Are Americans Reading Less? More? Fowles, Jib Elementary Secondary Education Illiteracy Library Circulation Publishing Industry Reading Attitudes Reading Habits Television Viewing Conventional wisdom dictates that television is responsible for a steep decline in literacy in United States.

All indicate a growing consumption of books and magazines and a decline in newspaper reading. (MLH)
