Is this a realistic growth projection? It seems that a targeted publication like the monitor
would better be suited for a paid or partially paid online revenue model.

Either way, when moving to an online only model, ALL newspapers need to roughly quintuple their online revenue to offset lost print revenues. The problem is that the current ad. revenue steams are not innovative enough to produce such a cash flow. For example, last year the NY Times generated $1.7Billion offline and $350million online.

There is NO NEWS WEBSITE IN EXISTENCE with such a revenue stream. Newspapers need to innovate their online advertising model.
