lets get back to economics--supply and demand. in most industries, if you want to increase sales, you lower the price.
the question is, at what point is the subscription price economically infeasible, unless more ads are included, or some philanthropist purchases stereophile and decides to be generous and take a loss, selling the publication at a price that even non music lovers or audiophiles are willing to pay.
thus the newer demographic, whatever it is would be induced by price.
another approach is to include subjects that are not currently found in the publication.
thus stereophile could be a poor mans time magazine, by including subjects and topics that die hard subscribers would consider out of bounds. i suppose the publisher would have to change the name from stereophile to ?????
heresy ? perhaps
for those who object to political content, what is your objection, given the inclusion of audio content ? why can't the two coexist ?
