Sure.

And anybody in your town can get mail, and thus get newspapers and periodicals from all over.

I bet everyone in your village has been to a town large enough to have a book store (the few which remain) or other source of printed material.

Does your village get delivery service from a public library (say in Sidney or North Platte)?

People can choose to be hermits. It’s their choice. They can also choose to be informed.

We have a public library, of which until recently my wife was the librarian. It does have periodicals (on hunting, fishing, Nebraska Life magazine, no news magazines or newspapers).

We get mail, especially the bi-weekly Nazi newsletter sent from that dipwad rancher in Gordon. We also get free “newspapers” put out by organizations I can’t trace that are allegedly about agriculture but hammer against teaching evolution, climate science, &c mixed in with farm reports.

The nearest book store is 130 miles away in Cheyenne.

I can’t make someone subscribe to The Economist or The Washington Post (which won’t deliver newspapers here anyway).
