What if there is literally no profitable model for digital news? Or none that actually scales and endures without, say, the established readership base and brand of the NYT. This seems...increasingly likely to me?

After Gutenberg it took a century for a new normal to arise. We are at the year 1475. This will take time. And pain.

Luckily we don't have to wait that long. The only profitable model is consumer revenue. Achieving that needs 2 things. A mechanism that lowers barriers to match the casual and uncommitted behaviour of consumers. And a product worth paying for. The first part is built and launched

Don't fool yourself. Not *every* publication is worth paying for. In fact, these days, few are.

Some part of many publications is worth paying for by some readers even though much of many is simply duplication. So, bundle publications to allow specialization within bundle and eliminate of duplication. Use Cable TV model.
