Ann McDaniel, managing director of Newsweek, which is owned by The Washington Post Co., said the magazine will aim for a "smaller base of very committed subscribers and get more money from each of them,"
This is a great strategy. They are counting on the subscribers being "very committed" no matter how high they raise the price. Sounds like a winner to me....

There’s any amount of lefty swill available for free on the web. It’s hard to beat free.

The fatal flaw I see in this strategy is that if their subscribers are committed that means they will be in rubber rooms and not have money for subscriptions. Nor will they have access to magazines.

Heh. I’m “committed” to cancelling my subscription I’ve held since 1967.

The operative word is “subscribers”
Note she did not say “readers”. Her vision is to produce an expensive snob symbol for display on a coffee table.
