"The New York Times paywall leads to plummeting readership"
This represents an interesting problem.
As newspapers become more outdated, we turn to the Internet; but, we don't want to pay.
I'm sure they'll eventually figure out how to get our money; however, I don't think it will happen anytime soon...

Lawrence Latif recently had this on theInquirer website:
"Web analytics firm Hitwise reports that The New York Times' daily readership figures fell between five per cent and 15 per cent for the 12 days following the paywall's installation. Of greater concern are Hitwise's page view figures, which show declines of up to 30 per cent, with most days showing close to a 20 per cent drop in page views on The New York Times' website."
