@DeanBaker13 @mmasnick i feel like this went off the rails, hundreds of millions of people pay every month? afaik, the top is nytimes with 10 mil and no one even comes close. the reason journalism is dying is because *in fact* hardly anyone pays anymore, rich or poor. but yeah, putting high quality information behind paywalls does hurt society, as does putting higher ed behind paywalls. but no one goes into debt for news.
