To double something is to increase it by 100%. (Or would you call that "singling" it?) To triple it is to increase it by 200%, which is what CU plans to do here.

Raising an additional $10 million to add to the original $5M will make a total of $15M. Most people would call this tripling the donation, not doubling it. “Columbia will have to do the same, but it will have to double Tow’s donation and fund raise $10 million.”

Hmm, don't know if that would be the best idea just yet. Newspapers still make the majority of their ad revenue via print. (Online ads aren't as effective, so they sell for a lot less.) But yes, the day is coming. “Hint: stop printing newspapers on paper.”
