To be honest, I think their new look is very clean and stylish. But I don't think it'd work for LI for a variety of reasons, one being the amount of our content (the other being that we can't afford good designers! :).
As for paywall, I understand the commercial pressures - online journalism is in a seriously difficult phase of its life that's very hard to monetise, especially in India.
That said, I believe strongly that information should be free and available and a paywall would be one of our absolute last resorts if all other commercial options have failed.

I'd be overjoyed if LI could one day subsist on the charity and goodwill of its readers! :)
But you're right, we need to find something sustainable other than just ads but in my opinion monetisation online is honestly one of the biggest challenges (and opportunities) that journalism has possibly ever faced.
Happy to hear intelligent suggestions though.
By the way, does anyone happen to know anyone who's signed up for the B&B paywall? I've yet to meet anyone, but if they get entire law schools or law firms to sign up, it could make some commercial sense...
What does Noojie mean?
Is Manisha not from Shroff's family.
RMLNLU is called Ramlu (though Ramlu-ites, I understand, hate the word), and JGLS is Jiggles, which is perhaps a tad too obscene for everyday usage.
Any others?
Oh, and no, I'm almost certain Manisha Shroff is not related to the Shroff & Co family.
She is Cyril's uncle's son's wife's daughters's husband's father's second cousin's daughter
Nice going though - was trying to figure out what that would make them in your hypothetical example when I got to husband.
So here's a fun exercise for anyone bored in the office: In the hypothetical relationship LOL describes, what would be the proper name for that relation?
Niece?
And I note too many people have started using my screen name! -The Real Gokkamokka.
Market is ripe with the rumour that Bhojani is retiring / being eased out. Anyone can confirm?
As russel peters said, if you get rid of one, they'll get another one
As for Google and Microsoft, I'm not quite sure what you mean, other than Google vaguely standing for openness and availability of all information (entirely self-servingly obviously). But MS is doing a lot on that front too under their new CEO Nadella, who's trying to make MS platform agnostic, is launching apps for every platform, even their rivals', etc. And they're giving Windows 10 away for free and their Office suite used to be worth paying for. Apple and Facebook on the other hand still love their walled gardens.
Anyway, it's not really my job to break anyone else's back or business model but I'm rather interested to observe if and how it will work out for them (it's also hardly new - they've had a fairly porous paywall up for at least a year now surely?)
However, yes, we will stick to re-reporting stories by them, the MSM and anyone else that we think are editorially relevant.
Though legally permissible is it ethical? Especially since you have clearly stated that this is the last form of monetisation that you would consider.
Why is there fire in your pant?
