I think you speak for so many who are too nervous to stand alone in their (what I agree is fair) criticism of The Times. The bigger you are, the harder you fall. And these guys sold the idea of The Times as a revolutionary new take on everything South African media had seen before. Unfortunately, it's not. I think though that time will help. But broken promises are not easily forgiven. Does this make me visit The Times more than IOL on a daily basis? No. Does it make the average Sunday Times subscriber visit their website more? I'm sure the answer is also no, at least for 70% of them anyway. Anyhow, good luck to them. They're trying. Bravo Anton.
