Wow, at first glance the lede appeared to read “Washington Post IQ tumbles 84%”...and my thought was...”that little?”
They are charging for access to their website?
Are any other papers having success getting readers to pay on the web? I ask because with literally millions of places on the web you can get news and info for free, why would someone pay for access for one specific newspaper online? Just wondering how viable a business model that is.
This is the devil's candy sold to and bought by every media company who eat up the laughable pie-in-the-sky revenue projections.
Meanwhile, their advertisers are being sold down the river as impressions and click-throughs drop like anvils because nobody can see the ads.
The very people they want to attract as subscribers and/or advertising targets are savvy tech types who can circumvent a paywall in seconds.
But I'm in a charitable mood. I would be happy to drive Eugene Robinson to the unemployment office.
Yeah, that's gonna work.../s
Maybe they should hire a reporter to go out and talk to former RANDOM readers about why they quit buying the paper. They might learn something their survey people aren't telling them.
The good news is our robust economy will absorb any Compost layoffs. Right?
Liberal, extremely biased media is dying...
Unfortunately, some of these liberal, extremely biased media is not dying fast enough before minds are poisoned and misled...
I’m going to have a spring in my step all day long...
A little birdie told me they are putting their money into anything and everything EXCEPT newspapers. Staffing firms, health care, energy companies, etc. etc.
I read WaPo online and readers comments.
It is 80-90% leftist, some extremely so. Typical of the Washington DC bubble.
