Isn't it amazing that she never looks any different?
Meanwhile, although things are hard economically for writers and photographers, my personal expenditures for subscriptions to newspapers and magazines has gone way up. Although I'm spending less on the New York Times because they cut a deal with me, I must spend close to $1K a year, subscribing to the Colorado Sun and various other publications. And my New Yorker subscription has more than doubled. Where's all this money going if not to the content creators?

Good question. Journalism has never been a road to riches. But the staff of the NYT and the New Yorker must get paid enough to live in New York, at least maybe in Queens or New Jersey. The staff of the Colorado Sun, on the other hand, may not be able to keep up with skyrocketing home prices in Denver.
And thanks, you tipped me off about that NYT discount and now I have it, too!

By "staff," do you mean people like the fact-checkers (assuming they still have them) and Gottlieb, and so forth, as opposed to the writers?
