This week, The Times is celebrating a breakthrough: We recently passed one million digital-only subscribers, giving us far more than any other news organization in the world. We have another 1.1 million print-and-digital subscribers, so that in total, we have more subscribers than at any time in our 164-year history.
Many news organizations, facing competition from digital outlets, have sharply reduced the size of their newsrooms and their investment in news gathering.
But The New York Times has not.
We have our subscribers to thank for that.
I would be curious to have the corresponding data for, say, Le Monde (whose quality has, to my humble opinion, plummeted in the last decade, especially compared to the NYT...)
