☆ The New York Times will shut down its sports desk and shift coverage to The Athletic
▼ + stars: | 2023-07-10 | by ( Liam Reilly | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +1 min

CNN —The New York Times will shut down its sports desk and shift its daily coverage of athletes and teams to The Athletic, the newspaper announced Monday. The decision to dismantle The Times’ long-standing Sports desk comes as the paper aims to provide a “greater abundance of sports coverage than ever before,” New York Times Chairman A.G. Sulzerberg and CEO Meredith Kopit Levien announced in a memo Monday. The closure will allow the paper to maximize both The Times’ and The Athletic’s respective newsrooms, they said. Sports stories across The Times’ website will be sourced from the nearly 150 daily stories published by The Athletic, which includes coverage of leagues, teams, and players, both domestic and international, Sulzerberg and Levien said. The New York Times acquired The Athletic last year in a bid to expand its sporting coverage.

☆ New York Times revenue hit by slow ad spending, subscriber growth
▼ + stars: | 2023-05-10 | by ( ) www.reuters.com time to read: +2 min

May 10 (Reuters) - The New York Times Co (NYT.N) missed estimates for quarterly revenue on Wednesday as a turbulent economy sapped digital subscriber growth and forced businesses to cut back on advertising spending, sending its shares tumbling 6%. The Times expects digital ad revenue to decline by low-to mid-single digits in the current quarter, joining ad-dependent companies such as Snap Inc (SNAP.N) in struggling with tightened marketing budgets across industries. Digital ad revenue fell nearly 9% to $61.3 million in the January-March period, while total revenue of $560.7 million was below estimates of $571 million, according to Refinitiv data. It added 190,000 digital-only subscribers in the first quarter, compared with 240,000 in the prior quarter, bringing its total subscriber base to more than 9.7 million. Separately, the Times named strategy head William Bardeen as its finance chief, replacing Roland Caputo who had announced his retirement in December.

☆ The Times Added 190,000 Subscribers Last Quarter
▼ + stars: | 2023-05-10 | by ( Benjamin Mullin | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

The New York Times Company on Wednesday said it added 190,000 digital subscribers last quarter, driven partly by subscriptions to a bundle of products that includes The Athletic sports site, bringing the company’s total digital subscriber base to nine million. Adjusted operating profit was $54 million, a drop of 11 percent from a year earlier, as the new subscription revenue was offset by higher operating costs and lower advertising revenue. “In the first quarter, we made steady progress on our essential subscription strategy, with clear signs of substantial runway ahead,” Meredith Kopit Levien, chief executive of The Times, said in a statement. Over the last decade, The Times has tried to offset declines in its print business — which is profitable but fading — with new revenue from digital subscribers. In recent years, the company has honed that strategy by offering readers a bundle of online utilities including a cooking app, the Wirecutter online shopping service, games like Wordle and The Athletic, pitching itself to subscribers as a guide to the wider world.

▼ + stars: | 2022-11-02 | by ( ) www.reuters.com time to read: +1 min

Nov 2 (Reuters) - The New York Times Co (NYT.N) topped quarterly profit estimates on Wednesday as more people signed up for its digital subscription bundle, helping offset a slowdown in advertising sales. The Times added 180,000 digital-only subscribers in the third quarter and said digital subscription revenue would grow by 30% to 33% in the current quarter. Still, lower-than-expected quarterly revenue of $547.7 million showed the company was not completely shielded from a wider slowdown in ad spending. The Times' digital ads revenue rose marginally to $70.3 million in the quarter, but the company warned it expects ad sales to fall in the fourth quarter. Reuters GraphicsOn an adjusted basis, New York Times earned 21 cents per share, compared with estimates of 13 cents, according to Refinitiv data.
