'Metro' Delivers Important 'Metro' News
 |
Yes, apparently Metro International makes some money:
Metro International is a profitable company, with net profits of $13 million.
"2006 has been a landmark year for Metro International. We have delivered our first net profit and been awarded the prestigious accolade of 'World's largest global newspaper' by Guinness World Records," said Pelle Törnberg, president of Metro International.
Indeed! After all, is there any more prestigious award than something from the Guinness Book of World Records? You get to share space with the fat motorcycle twins, the guy with clothespins on his face and the world's biggest tumor.
Also: If Metro, the World's Largest Newspaper™ is just turning a profit this year, then maybe it is pretty hard to make money in this newspaper thing.

I remember when people used to bitch about USA Today being the McDonald's of news. Metro makes USA Today look like The Wall Street Journal.
