Mr Remnick's account manages to compress the salient aspects of the dreadful story into a few page that boggle the mind, and set the heart sinking.
Online advertising revenue tends to be based on the number of times a given Web page is seen, and municipalities — even cities as large as San Francisco — provide too few page views to bring in enough revenue to sustain good journalism.

I don't quite know how to explain it, but you know how you can pick up a book and show someone what you're looking for in a few page turns?

After learning the language, read it, read a few page first to get interest.
