New York Times Reports Slower Digital Subscriber Growth Amid Busy News Cycle
The New York Times reported slower digital subscriber growth in the second quarter, adding about 280,000 new subscribers, below estimates and the previous quarter's 310,000. Despite a busy news cycle including the U.S.-Israeli conflict and FIFA World Cup, declining traffic from Google affected growth. CEO Meredith Kopit Levien noted challenges from tech platforms but remains optimistic about sports coverage and video opportunities. The company aims for 15 million subscribers by the end of next year, requiring steady quarterly additions.
