Crux Reader Survey - April 2024

Crux Reader Survey - April 2024

This important reader survey includes questions about Crux potentially becoming subscription only - or being split between free and subscriber content. We also want to know how we can improve our content - regardless of whether its free or not. Plus - if we were subscriber only - what new features would you expect?
1.Crux is experiencing the same challenges as all media with a difficult advertising market, the withdrawal of Government support and much more complex and fragmented audience trends. Please score how much you value, or would value, both current and potential future content on Crux.
