A real problem

Every time I get one of these subscribe promotions from almost any newspaper, it is obvious that they were created by people who have only one role in life - to sell newspaper subscriptions - and not by someone who really wants to form a bond with prospective subscribers.

This is NOT a matter of a price barrier; it is a creative barrier of the newspaper's own making.
