@noahbody said in Los Angeles Times: one year of Sunday Times print edition and one year of unlimited digital access for $9.88 for those living in Southern California:
" The Times had hoped to double its digital subscriptions from just more than 150,000 to 300,000 this year — a number that would have to be doubled again to come close to covering editorial costs. But midway through the year, the Times is nowhere near that number, having netted only 13,000 digital subscriptions in 2019. The Times added 52,000 digital subscriptions, but “significant cancellations during the same stretch” left the Times with a net increase of only 13,000"
It’s a “rag” not worth having to line the bottom of your birdcage, or spend any bandwidth on a digital copy. I took it at $9.98/yr. just to get the grocery coupons and they stopped having them 2 months later. I kept my old delivery copies for starter fuel when I light the BBQ. I’ll get a warm feeling watching the whole enterprise burn to dust in the near future.
Agree 100%. Well said. I get it mostly for the coupons. They still have the Smartsource coupon insert in my area at least. Since the weekly Sunday paper is only 19 cents, if I use just one coupon from the inserts a month he subscription would have paid for itself that month.
