Magazine publishers should give school children free Internet access to selected magazine articles to boost interest in reading. The magazines would benefit by generating loyal readers of their free articles, who would be inclined to subscribe when they were old enough to afford it. Articles offered by various magazines should be made available on a single site and categorized by topic, author, reading level, fiction vs. nonfiction, and magazine. A feature "those who liked this article also liked..." would help students find interesting articles to read. Providing selected magazine articles for free would be like giving fresh fruit to schoolchildren, and the cost would be negligible. Articles from non-current magazines have virtually no value to magazine publishers unless used in this way.
