    Advertising revenue collapsed for the New York Times during the financial crisis, but subscriber revenue has stayed mostly the same over the last 13 years. Overall it's been stable since 2011. Furthermore it's added digtal subscribers.



    What you're describing has happened, but it effected other newspapers, particularly smaller city Newspapers (like Cleveland and Oklahoma City). The Times is doing fine and isn't failing.

    Depends on how you define failing. I'd say it's failing slower than the rest of the newspaper industry but still going down. It's size and it's history will carry it on longer, but eventually it will likely become a digital only outlet, maybe 20 years, maybe 30, who knows.

    It's namebrand should keep it profitable even as a digital only outlet.
