New York Times reports another loss as ad sales decline

July 28, 2016

July 28 (Reuters) - The New York Times Co reported its second quarterly loss in a row as print and digital advertising sales declined.

Print ad revenue fell 14.1 percent, the eighth straight quarterly decline. Digital ad revenue, which accounts for about a third of total ad revenue, dropped 6.8 percent, the second straight quarterly decline.

The Times posted a net loss of $211,000 attributable to shareholders for the second quarter ended June 26, compared with a profit of $16.4 million the year-earlier quarter.

On an adjusted basis, the company earned 11 cents per share from continuing operations, matching the average analysts' estimate, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.

"Advertising was tougher in the quarter, particularly on the print side," Chief Executive Mark Thompson said in a statement on Thursday.

"In digital, we saw very strong growth in mobile, video and virtual reality, branded content and programmatic advertising."

However, this was not enough to offset declines in traditional web display, which led to an overall decline in digital advertising, he said.

SAN DIEGO, CA — The record 135,000 attendees at Comic-Con International last week not only left behind their money at hotels and restaurants, but a whole lot of trash.
The Downtown San Diego Partnership reported Wednesday that workers on the organization's Clean & Safe team emptied around 6,720 bags of trash from Wednesday to Sunday — seven times more than a normal five-day period.
The bags contained 25 tons of refuse, about two times more than average, according to the partnership.
