Culture “How we had done things before were not likely to work as well in the future” elcome to the 7th edition of our Innovation in Magazine Media World Report At FIPP’s World Congress, held in Toronto in October 2015, there was much talk on how magazine media companies were changing to compete in a W world of profound media transformation. CEO’s from North and South America, Europe, and Asia largely agreed that their company’s culture was the biggest obstacle to hurdle before being able to achieve real change. This was recognition that how we had done things before were not likely to work as well in the future and why fundamental cultural change in areas such as working practices, in the type of talent employed and lines of reporting, and even the complete restructuring of buildings and offices were all being undertaken. What are the goals of such major disruption? One of the chief conclusions was that what all the CEO’s wanted to have is a culture where trends and opportunities could be spotted quickly and where ideas would thrive and develop. In short they wanted more innovation. Which is where our Innovation Report comes in as it has become some- thing of a publication of record on how the demand for innovation is being met. FIPP’s main reason for being is to enable the global magazine media industry to share knowledge and experiences, and in the 132 pages of the Innovation Report, FIPP and our partners, the Innovation Media Consulting Group, can demonstrate that innovation is indeed thriving and develop- ing. Once again we have seen another record year for submissions, more than 200, which has led to many internal arguments about which themes and case studies should be included. Inside you will find some fabulous case-studies that demonstrate the ever more varied ways that we are creating and distributing content that excites the consumer, attracts the advertiser, changes the rules, and, happily, finds financial success. I always refer to the Innovation World Report as a goldmine of ideas – and it appears that the mine is far from exhausted. Putting together the Innovation in Magazine Media World Report rep- resents a year-long task of research and monitoring, and a worryingly short time to write and produce, and would simply not be possible without the drive and effort of my FIPP colleagues Helen Bland and Cobus Heyl, and the indefatigable team at the Innovation Media Consulting Group, Juan Señor, Juan Antonio Giner and author in chief John Wilpers. My grateful thanks goes to them all.

And yet most publishers are dumping desk- top content onto a screen that is a fraction of the size of the desktop screen and that is used in situations vastly different from the desktop experience. That makes no sense. Publishers don’t need a digital-first strategy for mobile, they need a mobile-only strategy. A digital-first strategy simply means putting content ultimately designed for a desktop on a mobile device first. The entire mobile experi- ence is different from the desktop experience.

  • Our Path Forward October 7, 2015
    Our Path Forward October 7, 2015 From our earliest days, The New York Times has committed itself to the idea that investing in the best journalism would ensure the loyalty of a large and discerning audience, which in turn would drive the revenue needed to support our ambitions. This virtuous circle reinforced itself for over 150 years. And at a time of unprecedented disruption in our industry, this strategy has proved to be one of the few successful models for quality journalism in the smartphone era, as well. This week we have been celebrating a remarkable achievement: The New York Times has surpassed one million digital subscribers. Our newspaper took more than a century to reach that milestone. Our website and apps raced past that number in less than five years. This accomplishment offers a powerful validation of the importance of The Times and the value of the work we produce. Not only do we enjoy unprecedented readership — a boast many publishers can make — there are more people paying for our content than at any other point in our history. The New York Times has 64 percent more subscribers than we did at the peak of print, and they can be found in nearly every country in the world. Our model — offering content and products worth paying for, despite all the free alternatives — serves us in many ways beyond just dollars. It aligns our business goals with our journalistic mission. It increases the impact of our journalism and the effectiveness of our advertising. It compels us to always put our readers at the center of everything we do.

  • The New York Times Company Fourth-Quarter and Full-Year 2014 Earnings Conference Call February 3, 2015
    The New York Times Company Fourth-Quarter and Full-Year 2014 Earnings Conference Call February 3, 2015 Andrea Passalacqua Thank you, and welcome to The New York Times Company’s fourth-quarter and full-year 2014 earnings conference call. On the call today, we have: ▪ Mark Thompson, president and chief executive officer; ▪ Jim Follo, executive vice president and chief financial officer; and ▪ Meredith Kopit Levien, executive vice president of advertising. Before we begin, I would like to remind you that management will make forward-looking statements during the course of this call, and our actual results could differ materially. Some of the risks and uncertainties that could impact our business are included in our 2013 10-K. In addition, our presentation will include non-GAAP financial measures, and we have provided reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measures in our earnings press release, which is available on our website at investors.nytco.com. With that, I will turn the call over to Mark Thompson. Mark Thompson Thanks Andrea and good morning everyone. Before I turn to the detail of Q4, I’d like to offer a few observations about 2014 as a whole. This was an encouraging year for The New York Times Company. We made enough progress with our digital revenues to more than offset the secular pressures on the print side of our business and deliver modest overall revenue growth. Especially pleasing was the progress on digital advertising. When I arrived at the Company just over two years ago, digital advertising was in decline. In 2014 we reversed that with digital ad growth in all four quarters, which became double-digit growth in the second half with a 19 percent year-over-year gain in the fourth quarter.
