Recent concerns regarding how reading habits have evolved among children include the types of materials they are engaging with and the decreased number of books in their educational routine. A cover story in The Atlantic is now broadening the discussion, focusing on similar trends across the whole population. Jeffrey Brown spoke with Rose Horowitch from The Atlantic to delve deeper into these insights.
Jeffrey Brown has spent over three decades with the News Hour, taking on numerous roles, including co-anchor, studio moderator, and field reporter. His work covers both national and international issues, sending him to various parts of the world. As an arts correspondent, he has interviewed many of the leading figures in writing, music, acting, and other arts fields.
One of Brown’s notable projects is the multi-year series, “Culture at Risk,” which examines threatened cultural heritage in the United States and abroad. He also helped develop the NewsHour’s online “Art Beat” and hosts the monthly book club, “Now Read This,” a collaboration with The New York Times.
In related efforts, Solveig Rennan contributes as a producer for national affairs in PBS News Hour and Horizons, bringing another dimension to this discussion.
