The New York Times Company announced it added 420,000 net digital subscribers in the third quarter of 2026, surpassing the increases recorded in the first and second quarters (310,000 and 280,000, respectively). The company's revenue rose 9.7% to $768.5 million, driven by growth in digital subscriptions and digital advertising, despite the continued decline of its print-related activities.
