#3 During 2008-2009 Newsweek undertook a dramatic restructuring of its business. It shrank its subscriber rate base, from 3.1 million to 2.6 million in early 2008 (down 500K), then to 1.9 million in July, 2009 (down 700K) and will shrink to 1.5 million in January, 2010 (down 400K); for a decline of 50% in one year. During this period the magazine has laid off substantial numbers of its staff and has repositioned its content towards opinion and commentary and away from weekly news reporting. Advertising revenues are down almost 50% compared to the prior year but losses at Newsweek are diminishing as well, as costs evidently are dropping faster than revenues.

Can't wait till they lose the crucial doctor and dentist office subscriber base.

#4 The party has always been small in relationship with the population base.

The party's 70 million members[3] constitute 5.5% of the total population of mainland China.

1.5 mil / 260 mil = 0.6%

Party core?

#5 Watching a magazine slit it's own throat should be more fun than this. They just lost some more of their dwindling readership by weaseling away from the truth.
