New York Times CEO Mark Thompson says the coronavirus pandemic presents an opportunity for news organizations to find new audiences and highlight the essential role of journalism

But New York Times CEO Mark Thompson said the crisis also presents an opportunity for news organizations to find new audiences and highlight the essential role of journalism. "Moments like this, this extraordinary and terrible experience which this country and the world is going through, is a moment for news organizations and newspapers to find audiences and prove the value of trustworthy news," Thompson told CNN's Brian Stelter on"Reliable Sources" on Sunday.

"However, Thompson said the Times is better able to weather this revenue crunch than those of years past, as the company now relies on advertising for only a quarter of its total revenue. Far more important now are its subscriptions, where Thompson said the company is experiencing"really quite astonishing growth." New York Times reaches a record 6 million subscribers but ad revenue falls by double digitsOther news organizations are not so well positioned.

Why did this guy come to US from BBC UK?

WOW -- interesting concept. The NYT's really has a journalist and wants to report actual news --- hum. I am suspicious.

Wow, idiots central.

News organizations have lost most of their credibility, they operate on rumors, and help spread those rumors. News are scripted. WMDs. Nayirah testimony, now Maduro is a narco president and Duque in Colombia is not. COME ON!

Journalism? All we see is fake biased news all the way around. Including Fox. All of you!!! We are better off without you.

For too long has PRINT lived by advertisement revenue,MORE OR LESS,ALONE AND HAS THEREFORE ADOPTED AD-ORIENTED CULTURE OF ONE-WAY COMMUNICATION:PERSUADE AND ASSUME YOU'VE MADE THE SALE. OR,PRESSURIZE & SELL. JOURNALISM MUST GET OUT OF THIS MODE AND ACTIVELY CULTIVATE DIALOGUE 🙏

Sounds like it took someone to remember he has a job , been a journalist is really hard 🤫

If only the NYT (and CNN for that matter) could remember what journalism actually is. obamagate

Their new network is China, that's why they renamed to Chinese News Network.

Opportunity to misinform the public? (Over and over ad nauseam)

... Thinking it's time for News Organizations , using the reference lightly, to find some solid journalists. ...stop broadcasting like a yellow sheet, stop Highlighting Breaking News for the same story, for the whole day! ... and on and on. Such a sub par group of poor quality!

Media should practice responsible journalism. Stop twisting stories.
