The money is being spent at the end of the purchasing process instead of being evenly distributed because the end is the most trackable.

In the comments, Carlos notes that, in a little over a month, they've seen 150 new online-only subscribers and only about an 8% drop in pageviews.

Actually, look at the graph. Most of the visitors to your news website come once or twice a month. A pay wall at the front door means that they're discouraged from becoming more engaged readers.

Current revenue streams are advertising, syndication, and subscription Passport service. The subscription service has 500 paying customers currently; they hope to scale to "25,000 or 50,000 members in the years ahead."
Quote: Phil Balboni, chief executive of GlobalPost, said the company is on pace to generate $1 million in revenue this year and expects $3 million in revenue next year, which would reduce their operating loss by 50 percent. (He didn't say so explicitly, but you might deduce from those numbers that GlobalPost's annual expenses are $5 million.) The goal is to achieve profitability by 2012.

The new Chicago News Cooperative will be a nonprofit to begin with, but will change to an L3C after January 1st. It will be a useful proof of concept to watch for those interested in the model.
Quote: Speculation and interest in the L3C model in journalism has run high. Some have looked to the L3C model as a solution for newspapers because it allows a corporation to take on investors who are willing to accept varying rates of return - or possibly none at all. Foundations would be assured that their investment would qualify as a program-related investment - a crucial distinction under tax law - while socially responsible investors might be willing to settle for, say, a 3 percent return.

David Carr and Mike Masnick in the ring. David's a fan of charging for tiers of content, while Mike makes the argument that you should leverage the content to make the scarce products more valuable.
