Im curious what the alternatives are the author considers to be acceptable?

From what I understand, the press is under assault from all sides... Internet has killed paper subs, political influence is attacking them... like what do you expect them to do?

It's sounds like he wants them to offer paying subscribers the choice to opt out of marketing emails? I'm a bit confused by your implication that journalism is somehow contingent on sending email spam to people who are already paying customers.

I expect them to treat subscribers well so they will renew.

NYT is doing great though. It’s actually doing so well it’s in danger of becoming a monopoly.
