I imagine this being a lot like Neil Young's experience with Geffen. There go Ratzo's chances of putting together that vocoder-heavy synth-opera he's always wanted to do.
@i'm a bottle: Le Monde will stay free. I don't need the American news anyway. I'll just write North America off if it can't get it's act together enough to keep it's largest and best newspaper from sliding into bankruptcy.
@i'm a bottle: The very first online national experiences were named like The Source and Compuserve, which charged by the minute. The Source was a huge scholastic database for the elites to roam freely inside for seven bux a minute. Everybody just waited in their friendly free neighborhood BBS until sanity reigned once more in the Big Picture.
@Tremonius: I'm too young to know about the Source. Interesting phenomenon. Remember the opening sentence of the Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte?
"Hegel remarked somewhere that all great world-historical facts and persons occur, so to speak, twice. He forgot to add: the one time as tragedy, the other time as farce."
The idea that the NYT will crumble is enough to drive me to drink. What a bad business decision: building a tower at the moment of greatest extension of the real estate bubble.
How can one not miss this writing style and editorial flair? It's like a Scrabble player who memorizes all the two letter words. Such a clever demonstration of verbal economy. I'm looking forward to your next syllable, though bye is becoming redundant.

It's a bloody carousel.

Not if you are looking at the actual paid subscriptions. WSJ being forced on people who are taking Kaplan courses do not count.
