I've been debating with myself about whether to renew The New Republic, which I've subscribed to since the early 1990's. I was just reading an entertaining
column by Michelle Cottle about Edwards' claim that he's more of a Southerner than Clark. It's billed as "Only at TNR Online". So what do I need the print edition for? With the thin covers, the issues arrive looking like the dog chewed them up. What I've decided to do is drop my subscription, and then when they cut off my access to TNR Online, I'll subscribe to that--I think it's only $19.95 for a year.
I wonder how many print vs. online subscribers they have now. Maybe the Web site is more popular. Maybe that's why they're letting the print edition go to the dogs.
