Sorry, my mistake. I just kept reading from the 2nd paragraph down. Now, I am thrilled.
Forget McCain’s editorial. They ought to run another full-page Moveon.org Gen. Betray Us ad..
I posted an article from the NYT once. It featured pictures of young Afghan girls, some not even 12 yet, married to men in their 50s and 60s. Somebody went to the link and posted all the pictures, presumably so nobody would have to click on the NYT link. Somebody else chastised me for posting it at all. I responded that I never bought the paper. I can’t remember who it was, but I owe that person thanks for having explained to me that clicking on their link boosts their internet ad. revenues.
NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Times Co. will increase the Monday-Saturday newsstand cost of its flagship paper by 25 cents to $1.50, the publisher said Wednesday.
Times Chief Executive Janet Robinson said the price increase for the New York Times will take effect Aug. 18. The company has already raised home delivery prices for the paper 4.5 percent in two separate hikes since last July. That helped overall circulation revenue rise 2.5 percent in the latest quarter.
Who would pay a $1.50 for a paper copy if you can read it for free on the Internet?
My guess is most paid subscribers who pay the monthly rate of $55 a month, are billing it to their company or the taxpayers.
The move comes a week after The Wall Street Journal said it would boost its newsstand price by 50 cents to $2 starting July 28 to reflect both new content and higher costs.
