From Insights to Impact: A Letter from Amy Long Associate Publisher

Dear Reader,

Last spring, The Chronicle’s Beth McMurtrie set out to examine a problem facing academics around the country. Young people are coming to college less willing and less able to read. Beth asked: What do you do when students don’t — or can’t — do the work?

Her story, “Is This the End of Reading?,” explored the many factors driving the trend and examined how college teaching has seemingly entered uncharted territory.

The piece struck a chord with many of you.

“Your descriptions and investigations of the current state of teaching undergraduates resonate with my experience so loudly,” one reader wrote.

Stories like Beth’s underscore how academic professionals use Chronicle reporting to gain powerful insights on real challenges — in the classroom, across campus, and beyond. Our subscribers invest in trusted, independent journalism that forges a deeper understanding of how higher education works — or fails to work — and why.

Comprehensive access to Chronicle journalism gives subscribers unparalleled insights into the ways colleges are adapting to an uncertain landscape. I’m writing today to highlight our rich archive of deep dives, case studies, and data analysis that can help you make more informed decisions and drive meaningful change.
