My comment on the SAI post: There are so many poor assumptions here. First of all, as has been pointed out, the number of loyal subscribers is not the same as the number of readers. Second, your assumption that everyone who isn't involved in the newsroom is involved in delivery is laughable. I understand that this is meant to be back-of-the-envelope stuff, but c'mon.

First of all, as has been pointed out, the number of loyal subscribers is not the same as the number of readers.

Second, your assumption that everyone who isn’t involved in the newsroom is involved in delivery is laughable.

Running a paper today, with the limitations involved in printing and distributing it, makes it as business savvy as running a lemonade stand on mom's money.
