The New York Times Company's (NYT - Free Report) digital bundle strategy has proved effective in attracting and retaining subscribers. In the third quarter of 2025, the company added about 460,000 net digital-only subscribers, bringing total subscribers to 12.33 million. This growth was driven by bundle and multiproduct additions, as well as other single-product offerings. Bundle and multiproduct subscribers reached 6.27 million at the end of the quarter, representing 51% of the total subscriber base.

Subscription bundles have been the driving force behind The New York Times' digital subscription growth. In a recent earnings call, New York Times CEO Meredith Kopit Levien said at least 50% of its subscribers are paying for a bundled subscription or for multiple product subscriptions, "which is important because those subscribers engage more, stay longer and pay more over time," she said.
