According to the analysis, different criteria are included: the number of bookstores, the educational resources available, the public libraries, Internet access in the establishments, but also the level of education, and the circulation of the press.
Since 2003 that this classification was established, the teacher recognizes that it measures not the quality of the various criteria, but the established quantity. Qualitatively judging the literacy of cities ” it’s more subjective, and hard to verify “, he believes.
However, the ranking seems to undermine some prejudices that the United States might themselves maintain. Indeed, if Washington is the most important city, and not New York, in terms of the press, it is above all because one finds there the greatest number of publications dedicated to politics and the federal government.
Note, in the ranking, that the first three cities, Washington, Seattle and Minneapolis, have not moved from their place, compared to last year.
The entire classification is located at this address.
