"Newspapers welcome more digital subscribers in time of fake news"
As the article states, as print's fortunes continue to decline, prominent publishers such as the New York Times are increasingly relying on their digital future. Apart from news such as Brexit and the presidential elections, print news has no further rise in sales. Just six weeks into the new year, the news cycle shows no signs of slowing. In the US, at least, this “heightened interest” will probably last as long as the White House “continues to be creating news and controversy”, says Mark Thompson, chief executive of the New York Times. The NYT alone added a record 267,000 subscribers in the fourth quarter, most of them after Mr Trump was elected. Mr Thompson used the gains to hit back at the president’s claims that the newspaper is “failing” and is a purveyor of “fake news”.
