sph should make straitstimes online free so it can keep its presence on Internet. When there is subcription fee, many just skip it and read from free sources. After some time, straits times is out of sight and out of mind, completely forgotten.
PAP ibs equate pap to SG. How silly and stupid of them
SPH however, would not go the way of NOL simply because divestment is not an option for Temasek. they will have to continue to fund this bleeding organisation like applying sanitary pad during their period, except this period is happening every day non stop.

The PAP needs their propaganda mouth piece like SPH. It's kind of funny that Sporeans have been subsidising the PAP for the brainwashing services they provide.
You arte right.who in hsi right mind wld subscribe to read propaganda and trash? therefore if SPH doesnt review and revise its strategy, it will die eventually
the pap blatantly uses SPH as its propaganda tool.
Debra Soon, Warren Fernandez are shameless dogs
It looks like all your supporters are coming out of the woodwork and you are cheering them on. Beneath your veneer of civility you are likely as vulgar as they are but at least they are truthful unlike you.
Cheebye u, whether anyone is vulgar or truthful is none of your business, you can keep that opinion to yourself as u fuck yourself! We are also free to support anyone any day we like and again does not need your fuck brain to analyse. We are at least intelligent enough to know that pap does not equate to sinkieland and that traitors to the people who those who carry out acts that harm the people despite of the righteous facade they put on.
pap may be charged for treason for giving Singapore Citizenship freely and carelessly to foreign trash without proper checks and procedures.
pap doesnt own Singapore and pap cant give it away freely and anyway it wants
That may be so, and it looks so but this has got next to nothing to do with the PAP, so dont politicise this.
the fundamental cause is the onset of digital media and how people are turning to the digital media for their news and entertainment, many of which are free at that. to have paid subscription for Straits Times n Business times is absurb especially since scmp is literally free as well as other channels of news.
Also, there is the censorship that create the pre conceived notion in minds of readers.
its telling that the loss of advertisement revenue from SPH printed media cannot be covered by those from digital, which means, the situation is serious. Not only are they not doing enough in the digital realm, they are facing a losing battle because there is nothing that they can do regarding the decline of print.
Big ad spenders are now cutting their budget for offline advertising and some even completely stopping it. This includes TV ads, so Mediacock, beware, they are the next to feel the heat. \
Many printed magazines are also collapsing, due to lower and lower cirulation. just think who will now buy Penthouse given the internet is awash with porn.

Sorry to burst your bubble, the day you die pap will still be in power. What charged for treason?
You may wish to switch camp like Andrew loh who will be grabbing the balls of pappies with both hands.

Nice analysis, but fundamentally flawed.
At the heart of any good newspaper is the quality of its journalism. The problems you have described above are not unique to the SHit Times. The WSJ, London Times, LA Times, Washington Post, etc. all face the same problems. The difference is that those newspapers have good journalists and people will pay to read them. Also, the way they now deliver the news to subscribers (digitally, social media, etc.) is a way that they use to offset the lost in revenue from their printed media sources. When you google a news topic, you can find reports from many newspapers on the topic. U can read different articles on the same topic from different media outlets. They can get revenue when you click on their article. No one reads the shit times because they are not good and provide no insights at all. U get a better grasp coming here to Sammyboy. The amazing thing is that all those world wide reputable papers I have mentioned compete with other news papers in their market for business. And yet, they are surviving. Whereas, SHit Times which has a monopoly still cannot make any money or has declining revenues, that is astounding. I mean if you are a big store like Ikea, you have no choice but to place yoru advertisement money with Shit times or one of its subsidiaries. The answer is that you do not have newpaper men nor real business men running the paper. hence you have losses. Same for NOL. Same for temasek.
Simi difficult. They just got an ex ceo of NOL on board. That means they are Profitable. It's just that profit is sliding and they need to examine and explain their next course of action.
Ex ISD run business? They are park down there like an attack dog. Where else in Pte sector they can be parked and get such good salary despite knowing nothing about running business? Don't tell me some GLC business is Pte sector..

Good points! SPH is not a newspaper. It's a propaganda machine set up to serve pap
SPH has announced that The New Paper will be free from Dec 2016 onwards.
It shows that singaporeans are waking up and will not pay for trash and propaganda.
It is newspaper though it serves also as a propaganda machine.
Please be more objective else you further lose credibility.
