The importance of circulation
In today's Philadelphia Inquirer, Daniel Rubin (author of the Inquirer's blog, Blinq) has kind words for my earlier discussion of declining newspaper readership: At Classical Values (www.classicalvalues.com), right-of-left blogger and lawyer Eric Scheie pays some respect, and not even begrudgingly:My thanks to Daniel -- not just for the kind words, but for sharing my thoughts in hard copy with people who'd otherwise not have read them. (That is something ordinary bloggers cannot do without help.) I got a kick out of the characterization too. I never thought of myself as "right-of-left," because I spend more time trying to figure out the constantly shifting sands (maybe more of a swirling whirlpool) of what's called left and what's called right than I do worrying about which "side" I'm on. But I think right of left is a pretty fair description of where I find myself most of the time. (Except in those cases where I seem to be left of right -- or left out of right.) My worry about the Inquirer's declining readership relates to the importance of literacy, and I'm glad to see signs that the blogosphere and the MSM are in basic agreement on what is a vital concern by any standard. posted by Eric on 09.24.05 at 10:46 AM |
