Letter debate

In response to a new PR campaign by the US Poster Service, Fair Game’s Ed Herro and Jessica Vitkus debate the merits of old-fashioned letter writing.

Arts, Culture & Media

You’ve probably seen ads for the new HBO mini-series John Adams, starring Paul Giamatti. Now, in honor of the series, HBO is teaming up with the US Postal Service and sponsoring a multi-million-dollar campaign to promote old fashioned letter-writing. They even have a special cancellation mark that says “The Power of the Letter.” Is letter-writing too old fashioned? Do we need to put pen to paper? Here to debate this matter are our own Jessica Vitkus and Ed Herro.
