Recently, there has been growing concern about shifts in reading habits among children. Parents and educators are worried about the types of materials children are reading and a noticeable decrease in the number of books included in their educational routine. A recent cover story in The Atlantic expands this discussion, questioning the reading patterns of the general population.
Jeffrey Brown dug deeper into these issues in a conversation with Rose Horowitch from The Atlantic. Brown has dedicated over 30 years to his career at News Hour, working as co-anchor, studio moderator, and field reporter. He has covered a broad range of national and international topics, traveling across the country and around the world.
As the arts correspondent, Brown has highlighted many eminent writers, musicians, actors, and other artists. His notable projects include the multi-year series, “Culture at Risk,” which focused on endangered cultural heritage both in the U.S. and abroad. He also contributed to the creation of NewsHour’s online “Art Beat” and hosts the monthly book club, “Now Read This,” in collaboration with The New York Times.
On the other hand, Solveig Rennan serves as a producer of national affairs for PBS News Hour and Horizons, contributing significantly to the ongoing conversation about children’s reading habits and broader reading trends.
