Here's a comparison, although not the best, but take it as you will....
Remember when you had to pay the Boston Phoenix?
The company decided to have the ads pay for publication, and it became a free paper.
The pros and cons were self evident, but the price drop was a shock.
pros - free paper every week, with decent articles (at the time)
cons - too many ads for junk nobody needs, crowding out the good reporting.
