Tuesday, April 30, 11:15 AM The New York Times (NYT +1.4%) says for the six months up to the end of March it grew total circulation by 18% (Mon-Fri.) and digital circulation by 41%.

Thursday, April 25, 8:48 AM More on The New York Times' (NYT) Q1: Amid an overall decline in print and advertising revenue, circulation revenue increased 7% as the company's digital business continues to prop up results. Paid digital subscriptions rose 45% Y/Y to 708K as the paywall system across platforms gains steam. The company sees circulation revenue increasing in the mid-single digits in Q2 while it expects a drop in operating expenses.

Wednesday, April 24, 11:08 AM The New York Times' (NYT) flagship paper is suffering from a crisis in the newsroom with support fading rapidly for executive editor Jill Abramson, according to Politco.

Monday, April 8, 7:23 AM The newspaper industry registered its first gain in circulation revenue since 2003 as digital subscriptions start to make up for sharp losses with print subscriptions.

Friday, February 8, 9:56 AM The sharp drop in shares of The New York Times (NYT -1.1%) yesterday (chart) had everything to do with a couple of lines uttered by CEO Mark Thompson during an earnings conference call (transcript) on paying out dividends.

We do not believe, therefore, that this is the appropriate time to restore a dividend." Comment! [Consumer]

Sunday, February 3, 4:04 AM As with the NYT, Bloomberg and WSJ (NWS), the Washington Post (WPO) has reportedly been the victim of hacking from China, which has been targeting the newspaper for four years.

Away from the online warfare, the Post is considering selling its HQ and relocating to a more efficient building. 2 Comments [Consumer, Tech]
Monday, December 24, 2012, 9:47 AM New York Times (NYT -2.1%) continues to be the topic of media M&A speculation with the focus narrowing on NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg's media empire as a potential buyer. A Bloomberg-NYT linkup makes sense to analysts, especially with Bloomberg's personal wealth (+$20B) at the ready to back a premium bid. Comment! [Consumer, M&A]
