New York Times' digital subscriber growth slows, shares drop
• https://www.reuters.com by Akanksha Rana, Arjun PaThe newspaper publisher started charging for online subscriptions from 2011 to offset a decline in readers of its broadsheets and has largely been successful in its efforts.
Digital subscriptions, starting at $97.76 for one year, are cheaper than print editions and some plans come bundled with access to its sought-after daily crossword puzzles and cooking recipes.
The company, however, has cut back on discounts it launched last year, when it also got a boost from the "Trump bump" - the effect of U.S. President Donald Trump's attacks on the paper as well as the Times' coverage of his administration.
