NY Times reaches 8 million subscribers
2021-08-06
No doubt this explains why they’ve been getting worse in terms of their “reportage”.
[IsraelTimes] The New York Times

...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...
 says it now has more than eight million subscribers in a quarterly update showing improving revenues and profits.

Profits doubled to $54 million and revenues rose 23 percent to $498 million, the media group says in its second-quarter earnings report.

The Times has been among the rare legacy newspaper firms to maintain growth as readers turn to digital news, and has been focusing on online subscriptions for its news and related products.

"We now have more than eight million paid subscriptions across our digital and print products — a testament to the success of our strategy, the strength of the market for paid digital journalism, and our unique opportunity to meet that demand," says Meredith Kopit Levien, president and chief executive officer.

#5  Have the "Big 3" cable networks equaled this "tremendous feat" ?

#4  If I happen to see a NYT article or headline, my reaction is "So this is what the regime wants me to think." And I used to really enjoy reading the dead tree NYT Sunday edition.

REMAINDER
Every time any of us quote, click-on or point to a NYT article absurdity, we are promoting their readership, viewership and AD Click revenues.

BTW: Yes I too have been guilty a few times this years also.

#2  They are allowed to count bundles that they dump at hotels and dorms across the city and suburbs. Creative accounting 101 to sell what advertising rates they do at the price they ask.

#1  The NYT paid 1.1 billion for the Boston Globe back in 1993, then disposed of that investment for about the value of the land at 135 Morrisey Boulevard just a few short years ago, and that land went for $70 million when John Henry (owner of the Red Sox & Liverpool FC) bought the Globe some years earlier. I fail to see anything of worth / value in modern newspapers, regardless of how they package it.
