For my money, there's still nothing better than a good newspaper. We get the Washington Post here. OK. What is the marginal cost of printing and delivering a weekday copy of the Washington Post? http://www.mondaynote.com/2008/09/29/the-economics-of-moving-from-print-to-online-lose-one-hundred-get-back-eight http://www.mondaynote.com/2008/09/29/the-economics-of-moving... First, the cost structure of a daily. In a typical operation, the biggest costs are industrial ones: around 25%-35% for paper and printing; another 30%-40% for distribution; around 18-25% for editorial; the remaining 10-15% are for administrative and marketing expenditures. It varies from country to country but we can safely assert most of the costs — at least 60% — are industrial in nature. Evidently, that part disappears when going online.
