I think the original article misses a critical point.
I WILL make time and gladly pay for any truly intelligent publication. At least in my case, it's not a fixed sized market.
But intelligent work is hard to find. You can't fake it, it's hard to buy and that's why there's so little intelligent reporting and writing. And that's why I read the economist.
I read the economist online edition. Hacked into it when I was a broke college student. I had recently arrived in the sates and resorted to hacking because I was poor and shocked by the lack of hard news in the US.
That was many years ago and now I can easily afford a subscription. I keep thinking I really should get one, it would be the right thing TM to do.
But I'm a cheapskate and I keep forgetting to pay for the Economist. Which means you'll never see me carrying an issue, or reading one. And because my memory for anything other then code is crap, I'm not going to tell you I red this or that in the Economist. You'll almost never hear me mention the Economist. Except in this post - The Economist :)
