    It’s like you’re saying, to a man who has been gut shot, “you should just adapt more. “ — There’s no route for them to adapt. Corruption in small and big cities is growing, and there is no one to shed light on it.

      So what you’re saying is there is no model besides complete subsidy for news to exist?

      It would be impossible for them to you know build a subscription model where you get access to all of their news sites for one fee? Kinda like credit unions do with their ATM networks.

      Perhaps offering better value to consumers and incentivize upsells rather than demote them. As someone who had a paper version of the economist they tried /real/ hard to convert me to digital only. Which is a far worse value proposition.
