I used to be a big nespaper/magazine user, LA Times/ NY Times + twice a month airport glossies, total approx. $ 30 a week.
Last fall, the base way LA Times went about the Khalidi affaire topped everything and made me quit completely giving them money.
Kathleen, don’t blame the bloggers for people avoiding to pay for your services – look around you, at Dana Priest, Eric Lichtblau, Steve Lopez, Don Baquat and the rest of the crew, the actist liberalism has a very big part in the disapprearance of printed jounalism.
Try to morph in something else – but now you guys, you are in a quite a challenging environment for you. You have competition.
