[Leica] PHOTOG BAD NEWS!!!! :-)

[Jayanand Govindaraj]

Of course I do, and a lot more than I used to. The costs for an online
subscription for most magazine is that a years' online subscription costs
roughly 10-15% of what it used to cost for a print subscription for a year
- The Economist is an exception, but not so the FT from the same stable! I
would guess that the net margins for the publishers would be roughly the
same for both types - if you take into consideration the cost of
machinery/paper/consumables/extra staff that it took to put out a print
edition.
Cheers
