Hmmm. Newspaper readership is on a downward spiral. National reading test scores continue to decline. America's youth doesn't read (well most of them anyway). English teachers don't know what to do about it. And oh yeah - at least one American business suit don't see any difference between the newspaper business and any other for-profit business. Hmmm.
How's this. Give EVERY student in the country a full newspaper subscription, say starting in the 6th grade. Come to school. Get your paper. Make it required reading. Hell, most newspapers already have an educational/teaching section. The cost of the subscription should be covered by some public financing - like lottery profits. Why not? Who's with me?
