Pieces that are just the information, a real investigative piece of journalism (and not some hack job from what's his face), or a study done by a reputable organization results in few responses, if any, and they usually aren't very in depth.
Because of this, it becomes discouraging to post those sorts of things. I think it would be fun to post journal articles on topics. I read several publications on political science, public administration, and public policy. I have often thought that it could be fun to try to attach some of the articles to a thread on a topic and see what kind of conversation it could spur. But the attention is focused more towards the editorialized pieces on here, so I haven't bothered to make the attempt. Quite frankly, a lot of people on here could probably do with some introductory courses on the topics.
Make a thread. Then we will see what the group chooses. I would happily participate
I find loads of excellent European based stories that I have posted and they get no posts, with the exception of you, it's hard to get an informed discussion going on about what's going on in Europe.
I still post them in hopes the tide will turn but the group doesn't want them so they fall to the second page quick enough.
