WSJ Subscriptions as an indicator?

WSJ subscriptions are actually up these days, believe it or now. One of the few papers bucking the publishing trend.

a lot of people just read it online.. no point in reading yesterday's news in print when you can see it live online

Newspapers are an obsolete part of our culture. Its Yesterdays news. TV, Internet, Mobile news is current news. Twitter delivers more current news.

you don't think the murdoch/conservative bias among nyc readers has anything to do with it?

Re: "Newspapers are an obsolete part of our culture."

By same measure WSJ -- any article in there -- is yesterday's news.

WSJ paper is a must have -- it is attribute, same as tie. One reads it in subway, in elevator, one makes sure your boss sees it :)

So, IMO even $52 -- or what was it -- is getting too expensive for show off purpose.

You are right. If I wanted to read yesterdays news I would just read posts from nyc10022.

Yes, better you stick with what you know...

you know, that, like Manhattan RE will go up forever, and there is no mortgage crisis.

Hell, I think the Yankees just won the world series, too.

WSJ online just doesn't give the same insight as the interesting stories in the paper.
