Denver online newspaper misses subscription goal

Posted by Jeff as Uncategorized

With backing from three entrepreneurs, former staffers of the News said they would launch InDenverTimes.com if they could get 50,000 paying subscribers by Thursday — what would have been the News’ 150th anniversary.

But the site attracted only 3,000 paying subscribers.
