We have a built in advertising / classified base, and subscription revenue is usually moderate at best. I don't think this will have much, if any, impact on the college media.

In fact, it was one of two possible scenarios they were looking to adopt. The other option the Monitor researched was adding a weekend edition while keeping weekday publication. That would have doubled down on print. The Monitor instead decided to put less faith in print. I think that's a wise move. You'll find out a lot more about the Monitor's decision and <a href="http://patthorntonfiles.com/blog/2008/10/28/christian-science-monitor-to-cease-publishing-print-newspaper/" rel="nofollow">why I think it makes sense on my blog</a>. I'm hoping to interview Yemma again about the Monitor this Thursday or Friday. @Bryan,
