Together At Last

Wow. I guess this is what they mean by synergy. Today, downtown, by City Hall, we saw multiple sellers hawking a special newspaper combo meal of the Wall Street Journal and the New York Post for the bargain basement price of $1.00.
For you economists out there, that's basically like getting 30 percent off the Journal by agreeing to take the Post off their hands. Which, now that we think about, may have been how that whole Rupert and Bancroft deal went down in the first place.

This blog post is weak. This post would have worked much better if the text was above the WSJ and NYP images -- also, those images need better resolution.

What a great idea, selling newspapers by hand on the streets. I have not witnessed this practice in many years, but if we could increase the circulation of the Los Angeles Times by several thousand copies per day, why not try it.
