Profitable Online Content
from the amazing,-but-true dept
With everyone focused on which dot com would fail next, many people ignored the story that the NY Times' online division is actually profitable. Forbes takes a look at the numbers to make sure this isn't just an accounting sham, but they say they believe it. The NY Times online has carefully managed their headcount, and leveraged their relationship with the newspaper part of the company to build a profitable division. Profitability for an online division! What will they think of next?
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
