It doesn't really make financial sense to run the magazine at all unless it makes a profit which I very much doubt. It didn't, hence 'The Staggers' when the readership was three times what it is now.
The Oldie makes a profit I think. If you look at th make-up of that excellent monthly you wil probably see how they do it - lots of stuff from readers nd minimum staff. As for the Speccie I don't know.
I think I am right in saying that no left wing newspaper pays its way except the Daily Mirror.
