The study ranks the largest cities on "six key indicators of literacy: newspaper circulation, number of bookstores, library resources, periodical publishing resources, educational attainment and Internet resources." Plano can claim bragging rights as being tops in the education category. Sadly, only 55th overall. (Plano, if you want to boost that next year, might I suggest rallying around the category of newspaper circulation?) The study was published by Central Connecticut State University.

this article makes good reading
Considering how irrelevant "newspaper circulation" is becoming nowadays, this who study seems fishy. They need to look at their "Internet resources" category and maybe think about putting two and two together.
Not to mention booksellers (amazon.com) and libraries (the Internet).
Heck even magazines are becoming irrelevant these days as well.
The more I think about it, the more vacous this whole study becomes.
