Potato Chips

[Citizen B]

The Washington Post loses a hundred million dollars a year, but they are kept afloat by the DNC.

It is kept afloat by subscribers who pay to read its articles. That is why it caters to a certain demographic. It also has access to Jeff Bezos' deep pockets, though I don't know interested or involved he is in daily operations. When newspapers were supported by advertisers, they had to appeal to the widest possible audience. With the new clickbait business model, it all about preaching to the converted versus providing information for people to make their own opinions.

The advertisers have changed, too. Your local supermarket is not advertising a sale on Christmas turkey in the online edition of the Washington Post.

The reason I read the Wall Street Journal is because the people who read it read it because they have money on the line, not some sense of ideological self worth.

The reason I read the paper edition of the newspaper rather than get my news online is that, this way, I cannot get spun up about anything. What I am learning about happened yesterday. The world is no different today. The news is something to know and to pay attention to, but, the news is nothing to freak out about.

What is more pleasant than reading the editorial page and pondering the world's problems while smoking a pipe?

No, they are not kept afloat by subscribers and advertisers. They are LOSING 100 MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR.
Maybe all-caps are easier read?

It's the same business model. Businesses lose money every year. I know, I am one of them. The ship still stays afloat.

Could you maybe cite a source for this?

Could you maybe cite a source for this? All caps doesn't really help.

I subscribe to the local newspaper. It has the current events, high school scores, prom photos and 2.5 pages of church advertisements and religious articles. Obituaries and weddings and births. A few advertisements from people we know. The last paper had a headline. "this day, in the city of David..."

Thank you.

Unfortunately, it's behind a pay wall. It would be an interesting read.

The following is a quote from the article.

The newspaper is set to lose $100 million this year, as first reported by the New York Times.

If you have an iphone and use ‘reader view’ it gets rid of the paywall on everything.
