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.

It is no wonder the subscriptions are plummeting when they have no
credibility........

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.

You can find better charts on Yahoo.

Without that, it would be just another newspaper.

With a pretty damn good readership.

Certain segments of the public have no respect for people with
differing views. It's never political, it's always personal. I wonder
if some of the people in that group are cancelling subscriptions to
"punish" the Times?

Maybe they're just sick of lies and innuendoes and 'well placed sources'.

You're a journalist, Chuck. You know what grade level the Times is aimed at
(8th, IIRC). Others like the Gannett rags shoot for 6th. The articles
sometimes read like Hardy Boy novels.
