NY Times has one of the largest subscription decreases ever. I wonder
why?


Don't read much news, eh? Print newspapers everywhere are losing
readership for a number of reasons, none of which you're likely to be
aware of.

I use Mozilla Firefox and a plug-in called BugMeNot when "logging" into
any of the online newspapers that require free registration.

It won't work on pay sites like the Wall Street Journal. Yet,
surprisingly, the Journal isn't seeing the same large decrease in
readership.


I suspect it's because WSJ has something that's not so easy to find in a
print newspaper: More complete financial data. I don't mean articles -
I'm talking about the charts. Without that, it would be just another
newspaper.


Hardly anyone uses those charts - plus there are not that many charts. You
may be thinking USA TODAY . Anyone in the financial world will use real
time charting like Bloomberg terminals or Reuters Bridge systems.


On a subway? :-)
