   Ask any manager from the old days: if your revenue (which mostly comes from   
   advertising) was down because your circulation was down, would you try to   
   solve the problem by increasing the newsstand price?   
      
   The problem with whoever's running the G&M these days isn't that they are   
   sticking to the old business models, it's that they're sticking to outdated   
   concepts of the market.   
      
   Good luck to the G&M.  I read it online now; that will stop when I get tired   
   of running into "click here to pay to see this article."
