There were 6.54 million paid subscribers to The New York Time Company's digital-only news product in the first quarter of 2023. The trend from the years 2014 to 2022 showed consistent quarterly growth during that time period. New York Times subscriptions New York Times Company's digital-only subscriber number passed the one million mark in 2015, and the number of New York Times digital subscriptions has been steadily rising since the company implemented its pay wall in 2011.

As many newspapers and magazines have been struggling with low circulation in the last few years, paid content in digital formats is one of the solutions to make the business profitable. By 2025, U.S. publishers are predicted to generate about 2.9 billion U.S. dollars in revenues from the sales of digital newspapers. Advertising revenue Traditionally, advertising has been one of the main sources of revenue for the newspaper industry. In recent years however, newspaper advertising expenditure has been consistently declining, pushing newspaper companies to diversify its sources of revenue. For example, more than 60 percent of The New York Times Company's revenue in 2008 was generated by advertising, a share which had dropped to 30 percent by 2016. In 2020, The NYT’s ad revenue fell below 400 million U.S. dollars for the first time.

The New York Times Media Group's subscription revenue amounted to over 464 million U.S. dollars in the first quarter of 2025, up from just under 430 million in the corresponding quarter of 2024. The New York Times' subscription revenue generally grows steadily over the course of each year, and the figure for Q4 2022 marked the first time that the company's quarterly subscription revenue surpassed 400 million U.S. dollars.

This paper compares the volume of news articles per section in newspapers and social media platforms. To this end, two weeks of news articles were retrieved by querying the public Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) of The New York Times and The Guardian and the diffusion of each article on social media platforms Twitter, Facebook, Google+, Delicious, Pinterest, and StumbleUpon, was tracked. The results show significant differences in the topics emphasized by newspaper editors and social media users. While users of social media platforms favor opinion pieces, along with national, local, and world news, in sharp contrast the decision of news editors emphasized sports and the economy, but also entertainment and celebrity news. Common to social networking sites is the prevalence of items about arts, technology, and opinion pieces. Niche social networks like StumbleUpon and Delicious presented a greater volume of articles about science and technology, while Pinterest is mostly dedicated to fashion, arts, lifestyle, and entertainment. Twitter is the only social network to have presented a statistically significant correlation with the distribution of news items per section by The Guardian and The New York Times. The results of this study provide a bridge between journalism and audience research and present evidence of the differences between readership in social and legacy media.

This statistic contains recent circulation numbers for the New York Times. In the six months period ending on September 30, 2014, the print circulation of the New York Times was ****** thousand copies. As of the end of 2015, the newspaper had *** million digital subscribers.

In 2024, The New York Times Company generated over 506 million U.S. dollars in advertising revenue, marking a small increase from the previous year but also a clear improvement from the lower results in 2020 and 2021. Meanwhile, The NYT’s subscription revenue continued to grow and surpassed 1.6 billion U.S. dollars for the first time in 2023. The New York Times print circulation According to the company’s financial reports, the average paid weekday print circulation of The New York Times remained above 340 thousand in 2021. A separate report ranked The NYT among the leading newspapers in the United States in terms of weekday print circulation, with more than double that of The Los Angeles Times or The Washington Post. Whilst it is true that The NYT still has considerably more print copies in circulation than other papers, the figures are not what they once were. Back in 2000, The New York Times had an average weekday print circulation of over 1.1 million, and even in 2015, the number was still above 600 thousand. Further annual decreases can be expected as online news content, paid or otherwise, now takes precedence over printed publications. Digital readership The New York Times’ digital subscribers hit the five million mark in the final quarter of 2020, up by around 1,500 from the end of 2019. The company did, however, see a drop in its satisfaction rating between 2019 and 2020. Consumer satisfaction with online news brands generally fell in that time period, but The NYT saw the biggest decrease, losing six points year over year.

The data was collected from five major American newspapers: USA Today, New York Post, New York Daily News, The New York Times, and Washington Post, known for their broad circulation and readership in the United States. Up to three articles concerning immigration will be analyzed from each newspaper, based on the categories defined by Bach and Harnish (1979): ‘Constatives’, ‘Directives’, ‘Commissives’, and ‘Acknowledgements,’ which serve as the foundation for examining the types of illocutionary acts in this research. The corpus attached will be used to analyze and understand elements of migration narratives that have emerged in the public discourse to shape a clear viewpoint.

Context

New York Times has a wide audience and plays a prominent role in shaping people's opinion and outlook on current affairs and also in setting the tone of the public discourse, especially in the USA. The comment section in the articles is very active and it gives a glimpse of readers' take on the matters concerning the articles.

Content

The data contains information about the comments made on the articles published in New York Times in Jan-May 2017 and Jan-April 2018. The month-wise data is given in two csv files - one each for the articles on which comments were made and for the comments themselves. The csv files for comments contain over 2 million comments in total with 34 features and those for articles contain 16 features about more than 9,000 articles.

Inspiration

The data set is rich in information containing comments' texts, that are largely very well written, along with contextual information such as section/topic of the article, as well as features indicating how well the comment was received by the readers such as editorsSelection and recommendations. This data can serve the purpose of understanding and analyzing the public mood.
The exploratory kernel here can be used for a review of the features of the dataset and the NB-Logistic model kernel for predicting NYT's pick can be used as a starter for building models on a range of ideas, some of which are:

1. Predicting the number of upvotes a comment will receive using the feature recommendations as the target variable. With enough training set for the model, we can make a guess of how a hypothetical comment on a certain topic will be received by the community of NYT readers' and this can be considered a tool to gauge public opinion. The design of this model will be very similar to the ones used in ranking the reviews based on guessing how many upvotes the reviews will receive.
2. Predicting whether a comment will be editor's pick using feature editorsSelection as the target variable. It gives a clue to what NYT considers worth promoting.
3. Based on a comment, guessing the topic (using sectionName and/or newDesk as the target variable) of the article.
4. Predicting how likely it is for a comment to get replies (using replyCount feature as the target variable).
5. Predicting how likely it is for an article to initiate discussion and get comments and upvotes as well as sentiment analysis of the comments' text.
6. Predicting the same as above for topics (indicated by the features sectionName and/or newDesk).
7. Analyzing behaviors of the top commenters such as which topics they most likely comment and the sentiment analysis of the comments.

Data collection

The python package here written to supplant this dataset can be used to retrieve comments from a customized search of the NYT articles concerning a specific topic, for example - Iraq war or ObamaCare - in a given timeline. The tutorial here gives detailed information about the use of the package with the help of examples.

Newspaper publishers have struggled to adapt a print-focused business model to a changing media landscape. Digital media outlets continue outperforming their print-focused counterparts but earn less revenue per customer in a market flooded with news websites. This shift has disproportionately impacted local papers, leading to widespread closures and layoffs. In the face of such obstacles, national papers engage in acquisitions to strengthen their subscriber base and leverage the credibility of local newsrooms. Despite these efforts, the struggle to maintain profitability and relevance persists. The industry's contraction has been stark, with a report from Northwestern University indicating that by 2024, one-third of US newspapers that existed in 2005 will have disappeared, leaving more than half of US counties with limited or no access to reliable local news. Newspaper publishing revenue has dropped at an annualized 2.7% over the past five years and is expected to total $30.1 billion in 2025, when revenue will dip an estimated 4.8% with a profit of 10.1%. The departure of print newspaper publishers reflects local papers' inability to attract readers and generate acquisition interest. For larger publishers, mergers and a shift to digital media help companies stay relevant. Consolidation has contributed to restructuring by centralizing various functions, including ad sales, editing and layout. For example, Gannett Co.'s acquisition of New Media Investment Group in 2019 is emblematic of a broader trend as major publishers assimilate local media outlets into their networks. Many newspaper publishers have considered shifting to a non-profit business model. An effort to preserve credible and local journalism has encouraged private donors to become a more significant source of revenue while publishers focus less on profit. Print newspaper sales have plummeted as consumers gravitate towards digital news options that offer greater convenience, digestibility, and mobility. News consumption has steadily moved online, transforming the competitive landscape and forcing traditional publishers to compete with a saturated market of digital entrants. Newspaper publishing will continue struggling despite the influx of digital media. Traditional papers will continue underperforming, while newspapers switching to non-profit models will worry less about financial performance. The industry landscape will fracture as an abundance of minor digital competitors split the subscriber market, decreasing advertising prices. As digital news consumption continues to climb, publishers will prioritize mobile-friendly content to meet changing audience preferences. The industry is likely to see increased regulatory scrutiny, particularly regarding misinformation and privacy, which could impact advertising revenue and operational costs. Ultimately, the Newspaper Publishing industry revenue is forecast to drop at an annualized 4.8% through the end of 2030 to $23.6 billion.

A 2022 survey found that 24 percent of Americans believe The New York Times (NYT) to be a very credible source of news and information through its print and digital publications. Just 14 percent seriously doubted the credibility of The New York Times, though a further 10 percent had some reservations about the publication, considering it to be somewhat uncredible. The New York Times The New York Times is one of the most widely read newspapers in the United States and has been a fixture of American print news for over 150 years. The publication has won far more Pulitzer Prizes than any other media company in U.S. history, with its first being awarded for its coverage of World War I, and more recently has been recognized for its investigative dives into gender and race dynamics in the United States.

In addition to generally high perceptions of the publication’s trustworthiness among U.S. citizens, most Americans also find it to be accurate in its reporting. When it comes to business, The NYT has been one of the most successful brands in terms of transitioning from print to digital media offerings, with over five million digital-only subscribers as of early 2021.

The global newspaper publishing market is poised for a significant resurgence, projected to reach an estimated $78,210 million by 2025. This growth is fueled by evolving reader habits and the strategic adaptation of traditional news organizations to the digital landscape. While the industry has faced considerable disruption from digital media, a robust CAGR of approximately 4.5% from 2025 to 2033 indicates a strong recovery trajectory. This upward trend is driven by the increasing demand for credible, in-depth journalism, particularly within general news segments, and the expanding applications across both print and digital platforms. Key players like Fairfax Media, Gannett, and The New York Times are at the forefront of this transformation, investing in digital infrastructure and diversified content strategies to capture a wider audience and maintain revenue streams. The market’s resilience is also attributed to its adaptability, with publishers increasingly focusing on niche content, subscription models, and multimedia offerings to cater to diverse reader preferences and monetize their content effectively in the digital age. Despite the challenges posed by the digital revolution, the newspaper publishing market is demonstrating remarkable adaptability and growth potential. The projected market size of $78,210 million by 2025, coupled with a healthy CAGR of approximately 4.5% for the forecast period of 2025-2033, underscores a positive outlook. This growth is largely propelled by the strategic shift towards digital subscriptions and integrated content models, catering to the evolving consumption patterns of news. The increasing emphasis on specific aspects of news and the diversification of applications, particularly in digital formats, are key drivers. Regional markets like North America and Europe are expected to lead this growth, with established players continuously innovating. While economic downturns and the perpetual competition from free online content remain significant restraints, the inherent value of trusted journalism and the industry's proactive embrace of new technologies are expected to sustain this upward trajectory, ensuring the continued relevance and economic viability of the newspaper publishing sector.
