Comments on: Gazette books section: bigger, less often, plus blog http://blog.fagstein.com/2008/09/21/gazette-books-section-changes/ Can you think of a better name?

It WAS diminishing content that made ME cancel recently, and that made me decline to re-subscribe when they called me TWICE last week to ask me back. They have promotions, special deals, what have you, but the ONE thing they won't give me, because I am merely a statistical aberration in their database of past and current subscribers, is a full-featured TV Times with programming info for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

But subscribers react a lot more to rising prices than diminishing content. Subscription rates have gone up in small increments over the past few years.

I don't buy The Gazette very often, but I think I'm less likely to buy it if it's a fraction of the size. Have they not considered just raising the price of the paper?
