NY Times CEO Touts Success Of Paywall Model
In a commencement address to business students at Columbia University, New York
Times CEO Mark Thompson
hailed the company’s digital subscription strategy and dismissed skeptics who
say media outlets can’t reinvent themselves.
“[T]he launch of the pay model is the most important and most successful
business decision made by The New York Times in many years. We have around
700,000 paid digital subscribers across the company’s products so far and a new
nine-figure revenue stream that is still growing.”
Thompson added that media pundits predicted that the Times’ subscription model,
which is based on a so-called “metered paywall,” would be a disaster when it
launched in 2011. Since then, he noted, it’s become a standard for the rest of
the newspaper industry. ”In modern media, you could make the case that the best
way forward is to listen carefully to what the industry has to say and then do
the exact opposite.”
