This is an $8 billion/year company. Not so easy to make enough on-line advertising sales to make a dent in the decreasing circulation numbers.
Oh, I know they are. Until my husband died we ran a local online newspaper and we were doing it since early 1995. So, we got to see the big papers suddenly take notice.

Which is why I said that any paper that hasn't tried by now has only themselves to blame.
