However, giving that the newspaper industry as high costs, such as those huge printing presses, and the people to man them, the cost has to come somewhere. I will say that these elite newspapers just don't get it when it comes to the Internet. Either they don't want to change, or they are afraid to change. They would do far better if they expand their websites with what web users want. On a side note, I used to be a subscriber of the New York Times, but cancelled due to their hard left agenda. We all know why ad sales are slipping at the Times. Consumers are tired of their loony left position. It doesn’t make sense to raise rates when your ad sales are slipping.
