Daphne Ntiri, a literacy expert and professor of interdisciplinary studies in CULMA, comments about a recent study ranking Detroit 69th among 79 cities as a "reader-friendly" city of 200,000 or more citizens. The findings suggest that Detroiters can read, but are hardly making the effort. Ntiri says that an updated report, preferably compiled by local experts, might do a better job of balancing the cultural bent of Miller's piece. "I'm not one to guess whether the findings have changed. Detroit needs to do something to find out where the culture is," Ntiri says. "People might suspect we are dropping behind because of unemployment and family disintegration."
