Ernie, The New York Times tried this model a few years back and it failed.

I subscribe to The Wall Street Journal where I actually have a paper delivered to my home. I also can access it online. At some point the paper version will probably go away and I’ll read it strictly online or from some sort of Amazon Kindle device.

Thanks, Rainier. You got that right: newspapers thrive on bad news, the more the better. No matter what the president says either!

Most successful journalists will make the transition to the internet just fine, but there will likely be a long term need for at least the Sunday newspaper. If not for news at least for cutting coupons and reading the comics!
