"**Concept: Applying Print Economics to Digital News**\n\n"
"In print media, unit economics are straightforward: \n"
"Selling Price = Annual Expenses / (Daily Circulation × Days Sold).\n\n"
"For digital news, while it eliminates printing costs, new challenges arise:\n"
"- High fixed costs like servers and technology.\n"
"- A smaller paying subscriber base.\n\n"
"Example for Digital:\n"
"If annual expenses are ₹500 crores and there are 10 lakh subscribers,\n"
"Subscription Price = ₹500,00,00,000 / 10,00,000 = ₹5000/year (~₹417/month).\n\n"
"Conclusion: Digital news is undoubtedly the future, but relying solely on subscription revenue is \n"
"as impractical for digital as it is for print. Just as print media relies on a mix of subscription, \n"
"advertising, and sponsorships, digital news platforms must adopt hybrid models \n"
"(ads + subscription + partnerships) to remain sustainable."
