New York Times Digital Growth

New York Times Falls as Advertising Declines Outweigh Digital Growth

Leon Lazaroff | May 3, 2016



New York Times was falling on Tuesday as a decline in overall advertising sales outweighed the positives of a surge in digital subscriptions. 
Shares in the New York media company were dropping 3.7% to $12.40, reflecting both a sharp decline in global markets and a $14 million net loss on a 9% drop in print advertising. Total ad sales decreased 6.8% to $140 million as digital ad sales fell 1.3%.
