I know the circulation of the printed newspapers has been dropping a lot in recent years, but these papers are pushing internet subscriptions. Theoretically people who used to buy the printed newspaper should be signing up for the internet subscription.
Maybe nobody wants to pay for the liberal opinion page of papers such as the Times?
Plus if you have any computer savvy at all you can backdoor access the paper around their software.
In Southern California our alternative has always been the formerly conservative Orange County Register. Well that is no longer an alternative. For news they use the Associated Press almost exclusively. AP might as well be an arm of the DNC. For editorial content the Register is majority liberal. Even writers who could sound reasonable at times have flipped 90% to the dark side.
The bottom line is that my 40 year subscription to the Register will not be renewed. The major problem I see is where will be able to get local news?

Oh, I don’t know about that.
Folks pay good money to be subjected to Bondage and Beatings.

the problem with converting from physical newspapers to online websites is that full page ads in physical newspapers can generate many thousands of dollars per ad, whereas ads online ads bring in hundredths of a cent per ad ... likewise, physical subscriptions run around $100/year vs online subscriptions for $9.99/year ... plus most news content is now obtained from a few aggregate sources, and such content is usually available for free from other venues ...
There is nothing special about the LAT. They are decidedly establishment. They could just run syndicated stories from the AP and Reuters. Few would notice the difference.
They presumably are still sitting on the tape of Obama allegedly praising Rashid Khalibi. Maybe can make some news with that.
