Whether e-editions are doing well or not seems beside the point, as long as nobody can offer a successful business model for offering an online news product. The latest numbers from NAA continue to show a great deal of time effort and money expended for very little revenue.

It seems to me that if half as much time and effort was expended on improving subscriptions to the print product, we might be seeing more financially substantial results.

The reality is that most of the digital editions are sold as add-ons to print subscriptions, meaning there’s no quantification of how many of these digital subscriptions are actually used or read.

As print subs continue to decline, newspaper’s digital editions will also decline.
