> I didn't say that falling subscription rates have anything to do with grammar. I was merely responding to Peter's critique of newspaper writing. In fact, Times subscriptions are up 17.6% over a year ago, due primarily to a substantial increase in digital subscribers. Overall, the industry is flat. Profit margins are down due primarily to a loss of advertising revenue. That's the main reason for the cutbacks in photo expenditures. > Paul > > -- > PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List > [email protected] > http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net > to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow > the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
