I mean, listen, I say whatever success we've had means we've lived to fight another day, right, on behalf of journalism in the public's interest and our business and the industry.
The core of our strategy for a very long time has been to do...
high-quality news journalism and make lifestyle products that are so goddamn good that people seek them out and ask for them by name and form a habit with them, make, like, real room for them in their lives and love them so much, they do them with the people they love, their friends and family.
That is the big idea here.
And I would say...
There were a few things that we decided like a long, long time ago that are still playing out now and really helping The Times succeed.
Like one through eight on a list of 10 is we just kept investing in the journalism.
I've been at The Times 13 years.
I think there were about 1,300 people in the newsroom when I got there or something like that.
More than a decade ago, now there are 2,300 and counting.
And we added a 550-person sports newsroom with The Athletic.
And we have a couple hundred people doing product reviews.
So we kept investing in rare and valuable coverage that is getting more rare and more valuable now.
done in a deeply resourced way to a very, very high standard.
That is the most important reason The Times is succeeding.
And we basically said we are screwed if we are not in direct relationships with our users.
We said we don't really make money if we can't get people to come to our destinations.
We said people have to have a daily habit with the things we do.
I get asked a lot, like, what else should be in your portfolio?
And I say, well, the bar is really high for things that people do every day or almost every day.
