Subscribe to our channel! http://goo.gl/0bsAjO In today’s episode, guest host Jonquilyn Hill speaks with Atlantic staff writer Rose Horowitch. In her recent cover story, Rose argues that we are entering a postliterate age. Although we’re surrounded by text — like emails, text messages, and notifications — we no longer have an interest in reading longer, book-length content. Jonquilyn and Rose discuss how the digital age has transformed the way we consume information, what deep reading teaches us that scrolling can't, and how being postliterate is changing our politics and culture. 00:00 Intro 04:05 A literacy crisis vs postliteracy 06:39 Why books are different from social media 13:24 The impact of postliteracy on students 26:53 Donald Trump is the first postliterate president 33:20 Print vs digital media 39:04 Deep reading vs the endless scroll 48:27 Could a postliterate society actually be better informed?
