Should I Subscribe To A Newspaper? Supporting The Media Is One Way To Challenge The Status Quo

As the article simply states, print journalism "badly" needs support. Given print journalism outlets like the New York Times (with subscriptions as low as $3.75 per week, with a discount in your first month) and the Washington Post (with subscriptions as low as $9.99 per month, with a discount in your first month), as well as countless local and regional newspapers, the demand for revenue in the print industry is not surprising. As a result the article strongly suggests directly to the reader that "So, if you've got the money and the ability, don't sit on the sidelines on this one. It's time to get involved, whether in a big, active way, or through simple means of financial support."

  • New York Times with print subscriptions of $3.75 weekly
  • Washington post with print subscriptions of $9.99 monthly
  • USA Today $25 every three months, or $8.33 monthly
Obviously the article is fully about supporting the print industry and it's demand and cry for help to maintain it's position in the market. However, it is undoubtedly true that the online world is taking competition in the lead by a storm, leaving print news obsolete. Perhaps their only hope is to be surprised by a miracle.
