Nothing that I want to make public here. If the publisher or Tom and Mike want to air this out in public, then they will. There was nothing in today's paper, so I'm assuming they don't want to talk about it.

That's a business decision. And it's not a decision I want to usurp.

Understood....change in the air for 2014 per Chinese "year of the Horse" horoscope.

HA where did you learn editor and writer were leaving? Maybe a better paper as a result? It has been pretty flat for a long time. Would like to see more of the Newton fellow but since I don't subscribe I really can't tell if he has written any more articles. Thanks.

I had seven articles in the Flume in January. The website has gone to paid content, but some areas and articles are still free. If you get a subscription to the hard copy, you will have a subscription to the website.

This is not unusual. I believe all the foothills papers websites are paid content and the Denver Post requires a subscription for reading more than 10 article a month.

It's the way print media is going.

Website subscription is a very bad business model. Readership will plummet.
Income for newspapers should be generated by advertisement with free access to the reader. Advertisement rates are determined by circulation.
Reduced circulation results in reduced advertisement revenue, which results in increased subscriber rates, which results in reduced circulation.
Feeds on itself, don't you know.

:YeahThat:

The Denver Post is cannibalizing itself in just this way.
