So first, they need to ensure that they are read by people with substantial purchasing power, which is usually the middle class, or rather its wealthier parts - which can afford more expensive stuff. Educated people are typically well-off and support many liberal viewpoints. A perfect example of this is the success of stuff like "The Economist", which supports stuff like gay marriage and weed legalization, but diverges from college leftists when it doesn't support harshly redistributive taxes and a bunch of social justice stuff.

Radbot posted:OK, SilentD. It'll be interesting once your theory is put to the test by the best educated generation in American history having the worst job and asset accumulation prospects. As far as education, every generation ever has been the most educated generation in American history, more or less. The job/asset accumulation might be tricky, but the adults graduating into Vietnam helped put Reagan in power later, and the adults graduating during Reagan years are more or less calling the shots now. In other words, prepare to be disappointed.
