Andrew Sullivan's decision to leave The Daily Beast and take his blog, The Dish, with him at the beginning of the year was bold. Sullivan decided to support The Dish with a subscription model, and now 6 months in, he's updating us all on the site's progress. According to a post on The Dish, the publication has 27,349 subscribers. Readers get five clicks a month before they hit a paywall, and that number stands at another 28,000. Gross revenue, according to the post, is at a healthy $715,00 despite a dip in traffic this spring. That figure, however, is still shy of the site's stated goal of $900,000 in revenue.
