More about the diaeresis, and why it’s useful, in the New Yorker (one of the few publications that still uses it): http://www.newyorker.com/culture/culture-desk/the-curse-of-t...

You forgot to add "in the United States" after "publications".

Good point — I should have specified english-language publications, since the diaeresis is still common in other languages. (Unfortunately, I can’t edit my original comment.)

Actually though it's fading out in all English countries, only in the US would I consider it something that needed explanation!
