I think we need to see data. Those seem to be merely opinions. I think so too is a bit early to tell. Give it a year. The Times is either sinking or swimming.

I think we need to see data. Those seem to be merely opinions. I think so too is a bit early to tell. Give it a year. The Times is either sinking or swimming. I can see this working. For example they could publish some very exclusive stories, engage in some PR and then people would subscribe. They could increase their level of journalism above all other newspapers, be truly independent and then people might see value and subscribe. If however they continue as they have been, meh, they just another copycat, reproducing the same news as all other newspapers, hence it is a no brainer that no one would pay for it.
