The problem most online publications have is total lack of reader
loyalty. The average number of pages read by a visitor is currently
1.2. The average revenue brought in by a news story is just $6.
Publishers should wish that visitors spend more time reading their
stories and perhaps clicking on a couple of ads.
As long as the WSJ's focuses on echoing Fox News I don't think they
have to worry much about our stealing their reporting.
