... The company saw its total subscription revenues increase by 9.1% to $494.6 million, while its digital-only revenues increased by 14% to $367.4 million. The latter was boosted by its company bundles, which offer the newspaper in addition to services like Games, Cooking and the Athletic, which the company said helped offset a decrease in news-only subscriptions. Its total subscriber number was 12.33 million.

Its digital ad revenue increased by 20.3% after it saw strong demand among advertisers and a new supply of ads. It also acknowledged a $2.4 million pre-tax cost related to its ongoing copyright infringement lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft.

Clearly, American fascism has the intent of having the oligarch caste buy up all the national media, and shut down the independent voices that oppose the Trump gang. I am a low income person who subscribes to the Times because more and more, especially after Bezos castratied the Post, I see that my hope, my mental health, is linked to having a sense I live in a democracy, not a Putinesque pretend democracy.
