The Christian Science Monitor takes on the media conclusions to the NEA "reading in crisis" report, finding some other folks to place the blame on.
Publishers and writers can blame TV, the Internet, and the media all they want, but the problem lies squarely with them.

They, more than anyone, need to be organized keepers of the reading flame.
