New York Times Sees Mixed Results in Q3 with Subscriber Growth and Ad Spending Challenges.

The New York Times added 190,000 digital subscribers last quarter, bringing its total digital subscriber base to nine million. The increase was driven in part by subscriptions to a bundle of products that includes The Athletic sports site. However, adjusted operating profit dropped 11% from a year earlier due to higher operating costs and lower advertising revenue. The Times has been trying to offset declines in its print business with new revenue from digital subscribers and online utilities. The company had about 9.7 million subscribers of its print and digital products at the end of the first quarter, up about 8% from a year earlier.
