Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 69623840 United States 06/07/2017 02:03 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | New York Times' Digital Subscriptions Continue To Drive Growth The New York Times Company announced solid fiscal first quarter results on May 3, as both its earnings per share and revenue came in ahead of expectations. NYT reported unprecedented growth in digital subscriptions, which helped the company stabilize its circulation revenues in the first quarter. The company’s total circulation revenues increased 11% year-over-year (y-o-y) in the quarter, with digital-only subscription revenue growing strongly at 40% y-o-y to $76 million. In addition, the company’s other revenues grew 21% y-o-y to $26 million largely due to affiliate referral revenue associated with the acquisition of Wirecutter and Sweethome (October 2016). However, headwinds in print advertising (-18%) resulted in a 7% y-o-y decline in the company’s overall advertising revenues in the quarter. Despite this continued pressure, the company’s overall revenues grew 5% y-o-y to $399 million, driven by very strong digital revenues. [link to www.forbes.com (secure)] |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 74735096 Ukraine 06/07/2017 02:07 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Six months ago, Breitbart was riding the wave of the election, plotting an international expansion to provide a platform to spread far-right, populist views in Europe. But today, Breitbart is facing traffic declines, advertiser blacklists, campaigns for marketers to steer clear and even a petition within Amazon for it to stop providing ad services. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 69623840 There were just 26 brands appearing on Breitbart in May, down from a high of 242 in March, according to MediaRadar, which tracks ads on websites. Many conservative sites, including Townhall, The Blaze and National Review, have also had declines, although those declines are much less pronounced than Breitbart, according to MediaRadar. Breitbart’s editor and site haven’t replied to requests for comment. More broadly, Breitbart has been caught up in the escalating scandal over fake news and “unsafe” content on platforms like YouTube and Facebook. Many marketers are now tightening brand-safety guidelines. But even if Breitbart’s advertising dries up completely, it still has a billionaire benefactor in Robert Mercer so it may stick around anyway — and a commerce business that hawks T-shirts, coffee mugs and beer koozies.

Those comments helped damage the site's reputation and gave fuel to liberal agitation toward advertisers. And advertisers don't want to be associated with sites where ugly comments appear. |

Maybe that is why their advert revenue is plummeting. Wonder how long they can stay in business like that? |
