The New York Times added more than 300,000 subscribers Q1

The New York Times just had one of its best quarters ever, adding 308,000 new subscribers and posting its biggest quarterly revenue gross since 2011. The paper's growth comes on the back of President Trump repeatedly saying that the Times is "failing" and labeling it "fake news." "These results show the current strength and future potential of our digital strategy not just to reach a large audience, but also to deliver substantial revenue," Thompson also went on to call it "the single best quarter for subscriber growth," and as a result, saw its shares rise 12 percent on Wednesday.
