Out of the total $40 million investment, the news outlet has spent $24 million on salaries, $6 million in assets, $8 million on software, and $2 million in research. Crevier said this was a "meagre" investment when compared with developing and distributing a new print product, which he estimates would have cost $174 million. Crevier expects the $40 million investment to be recouped in 18 to 24 months from now.
