How do they stay in business?
Between muting the majority of commercials on television and now a newspaper so thin you can see right through it, why do people continue their subscription when clearly the paper isn't doing much work any more. More importantly, why do advertisers waste their money.
Every single day we work hard to deliver you an average of around 75 articles a day. As we showed you yesterday, (as well as January 1st) our traffic in one hour exceeds the subscription volume of viewers/subscribers, or at least very close to it.
This morning I was taking a stroll and I just couldn't believe how thin the newspaper is. At this point the Daily Times needs to follow The Dispatch and come out with a weekly newspaper. At least it will look like they're trying.

The paper's just a little heavier than the bag it's in.
The local newspaper is abysmal. They do not cover pertinent issues to the local market and they fail to have writers whom write with passion about these subjects. It's a shame but reality is, digital is becoming the new way to connect with the base; however, no one is going to pay a subscription to the Daily Times because of its lack of actual news items. They do not compare to the NYT or the LAT, which are easily available and better penned.
The local office has been reduce to a skeletal staff and they have lost many of their longtime people whom produced quasi-quality - better than now.
Advertisers would be wise to start supporting digital formats and stop worrying with print. Print is becoming obsolete and in grave danger of extinction.
They raised the price on it too. It's now $1.50
If it weren't for the obituaries I wouldn't bother even looking at the online version.
any paper that allows an a--hole like Gains Hawkins to publish something and gets rid of a natural trasure like Brice Stump isn't worth lining my cat's litter box with. sorry Daily Times - you suck
I could throw the Daily Times in the air and read every word in it before it hits the floor.
With all the overhead I don't know how they stay in business.
Is there anyone under the age of 70 that reads it?
