Nobody Will Read This

Tina Brown was once one of the most successful magazine editors alive. So it was a bit of a shock when the former New Yorker and Newsweek editor proclaimed that magazines, journalism and reading itself are all dying art forms. We are, she said, reverting back to an oral culture.

Not surprisingly, Brown's remarks generated many very literate responses. What do you think? The Los Angeles Times reports.

Questions...

•Is the Internet leading to the death of reading and writing, or is there more of it than ever before?

•How do people learn about and think about big issues in 2013?

•How do you read in different ways than your parents or grandparents?

•How do people debate issues on the Internet?

•Why do you think the Internet causes all this "death" talk?
