For context, Democracy Docket first launched a paid membership 18 months ago and already has more than 50,000 paid members (and nearly 500,000 free subscribers).

Yes, the 100k number is only WaPo's print subscribers, but it is still a shocking decline given the interest in democracy and elections.

Lmao WaPo has fewer than 100K circulation now. It turns out “alienate your liberal subscriber base” is not a good strategy when the Republicans also hate you. www.forbes.com/sites/andyme...
