I'm glad that you find this question easy. As I pointed out in my mail, however, there are many reasons why circulation figures tell us little about whether the papers actually serve the needs of the readers. In relation to this question, what is your opinion on the recent Eurobarometer survey that found that 80% of Europeans are interested in science and tech, but only 10% feel they are well informed? Could this be an indication that people want more from science journalism, too?
