Ms Abramson should have held her ground in having her daughter keep the full subscription. Psychologically people read more of the news in a newspaper than they do on line since on paper it is staring the reader in the face. Online one has to go look for it. If the reader knows nothing about the topic s/he is less likely to see it or read it.
I hope some things do change in terms of the Times manner of writing investigative articles with many details and references to be gained by turning to online info or other "old-fashioned" items like books. I thought they did well Sunday with the use of maps and where water and other necessities are in full supply and others that are below subsistence. More information items like that may help. Opinion items have multiplied in the past few years but Times still needs to improve on global information/US relationship to it. Too many peole stop at the borders/coastlines. Xenophopia is rampant.
