Readership slipping, prestige slipping...what to do, what to do....I know, lets raise prices by a big margin. That will bring people back. The wonder of a liberal mind.

To be fair, it also makes very nice wall-to-wall for our caged avian friends.

I was just about to say this very same thing - Pittsburgh raised it’s Port Authority Transit fares when ridership decreased. NYT is just following the governmental economic/accounting practices of the statists they so admire and hold up as mental giants.

To save the environment a $5 carbon/pollution tax should be put on every issue of the NYT.
