Apparently those 35 people did sign up for a year. (Edit: I guess not. I think the author is just establishing a best-case calculation). According to the article, anyway, which unveils the number 35 as the answer to the following question:
"...how many people have signed up to pay...$260 a year, to get unfettered access to newsday.com?"
- jacquesm 17y ago/me thinks that they made the connection between the $5 per week and the year all by themselves, the website is mum on $260, but prominently displays the $5. That's the one thing they did right, if they had put $260 up front you'd be looking at 3 in stead of 35 subscribers :)
- pohl 17y agoNo doubt the author made the connection himself. It's sensible for him to have calculated the best-case since the gist of the piece is that even the best-case annual revenue is abysmal.
