Good luck to them but that’s quite pricey.
Irish Times is €12 a month and includes archives, etc. This is expensive.
the comparing buckets of regurgitated horse manure with something I know nothing about. Very much not the same thing (i hope and pray)
I’m just about willing to still buy the Sunday Paper, so this is way too dear.
Not sure on their pricing market research.
Currently on their site:
Hi there,
Unfortunately our subscriptions are temporarily down while our service provider resolves the issue. Could we get your email and we’ll notify you as soon as the issue is resolved?
I am setting up a better and cheaper news site.
Please send your credit card details to me at oneborneveryminute@askjeeves.com
Shows they have a very high opinion of themselves and no awareness of what people are willing to pay for journalism these days, they’ll be lucky to make the one year anniversary, hope I’m wrong but seems way off price wise.
ahem
RTÉ non-exec Director Ian Kehoe ya’ mean
I expect to see him and Tom Lyons appearing in a lot of Are you staying In etcs here over the next six to twelve months
well good luck to them, looking at that head count; and not including rent rates utilities and what-have yas’ they’ll need at least 800 subscribers to get them to the October bank holiday
How long before someone who recently disposed of shares in a media plc comes along
Maybe Eoin will be able to inform us
There’s around 3,000 digital subscribers at the SBP. The SBP sells around 23,000 paper copies. If they can get a wedge of that, they could do alright.
Nice to see Francesa Comyn resurface after recently leaving the SBP, she’s a sound legal affairs and courts correspondent.
Good luck to them.
Should I try to buy shares in the SBP? Would their price go up or down?
