    Maybe there would be a big improvement to be had to the quality of the paper and the engagement, if it came with the right framing.

    In a box on page 1: “One story in this paper is fake! Can you spot it? Write to (blah) with your guess and your reasons” and then see what people come up with and publish some of the letters with responses. Get people in a more healthy frame of mind for how to interact with the material.

    (Bonus points if there is no fake story in most issues)

        lol okay fair point let me rephrase

        someone whose opinion is that ants are tiny robots sent by the Koreans to spy on us and we all need to step on them all the time

        That is more bizarre than what’s in this article but they are based in roughly the same level of factual rigor and connection to reality.
