Why would changing to a format people have always resisted paying for be a difficult decision? Beats me.Report
The problem is that readers are now resisting paying for either format, print or online.
If they’re giving roughly the same amount of resistance, the only remaining questions are the size and quality of the advertising audience, and the freshness of the news. The former varies, but in the latter, online wins every time.Report

In other words, you get what you pay for.
1. The code doesn’t work in edge cases, because thinking that stuff through isn’t fun either.Report
