He has done more to juice their online subscriptions than any marketing campaign could have.

I live in Dallas and subscribe to the Dallas Morning News because any newspaper is important these days. But I rely on the Washington Post and New York Times for the real news.

DMN just fails to report on many things or buries important stories on the back pages. WP and NYT lead with what is going on. Neither is perfect (someone at NYT seems to be protecting Trump), but their reporters do some great journalism.
