THE NYT GOING TO A SUBSCRIPTION BASED FORMAT...WILL CAUSE IT TO LOSE INFLUENCE IN AMERICAN SOCIAL AND POLITICAL DIALOGUE....
SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES ARE FOR THE ECONOMIC ELITE...NOT THE PUBLIC...
BY REQUIRING SUBSCRIPTIONS...THE NYT WILL BECOME A "NEWSLETTER"...AND NOT THE PUBLIC INSTITUTION IT ONCE WAS...
THE INFLUENCE OF CABLE NEWS WILL CONTINUE TO REPLACE PRINT MEDIA...AND THAT MEANS THAT PEOPLE WILL GO TO FOX AND MSNBC FOR THE OPINION PIECES AND FEATURE STORIES...
