Presumably this means that the remaining online readership is now composed only of paying customers? Not exactly disastrous.

- lionhearted 16y agoDepends - they probably give free online access with paper deliveries. The question is how many unpaid signups converted into paid? If that number is lower than the decrease in advertising revenue due to lower traffic, then it turned out poorly.
- handelaar 16y agoThey're not giving away free online access with deliveries, no.
- handelaar 16y agoAu contraire. This is just with the reg-wall getting in your face on arrival for the first month of transition. The paywall only went up in the past week or two. And yes, they're still counting all the referer traffic that arrives, gets dumped into the paywall and then leaves, as "traffic". That won't last long.
