The Printed Word

Although Americans spend a great deal of time watching TV and seeing movies, books are still very popular in the USA. Hardcover books commonly sell for $12 to S25, so people buy these most frequently as gifts and chose paperback editions (usually under $10) for their personal use. Most people also have a public library in the neighbourhood and can get books on loan for two weeks absolutely free.

What books do they read? Good works of literature written by Americans are readily available. Since the 19th century, American writers have moved away from the influence of English writers and have developed a voice of their own. Americans are justly proud of their literary giants, but the most popular readings are how-to books (how to fix your car, file for your own divorce, and so forth), escape fiction (including murder mysteries and novels about love and adventure), and biographies, often exposes about famous people. Despite the thousands of books published each year, experts worry that the American people get too much of their knowledge from TV and radio and not enough information from the printed word.

Parents, teachers, and librarians are constantly trying to develop in children the habit of reading. Most areas have at least one local daily newspaper which gives news of the surrounding communities and also provides national and international news. However, since 1950, the number of newspapers published in the United States has declined by almost 25%, while the population has increased by almost 70%. Although television has replaced newspapers as the average person's source of news, newspapers and magazines provide more complete news coverage for those who want derails and analysis of national and international affairs.

Although newspaper sales have been declining, magazines have prospered. They are published weekly, monthly, or quarterly (four times a year) and cover almost every subject imaginable. Some of the most popular are weekly newsmagazines such as "Time", «Newsweek", and US "News and World Report”. There are hundreds of different magazines for special groups — working women, single men, blacks, photographers, computer users, gamblers, and pigeon racers, to name just a few. In addition, there are special publications (called "trade magazines") of interest to people in particular industries.
