Comment on The Economist’s Tom Standage on digital strategy and the limits of advertisingparent

OTOH, I’m not sure that journalistically The Economist really does do some difficult task that no one else can do

They get people to pay for it, which is where others seem to fail.

People also pay for books about current affairs. I was not suggesting that it is not legitimate, just sort of wondering about where they are in the bigger picture of journalism as a business, as a part of democracy..
