However, in this case you're right. They have 1.6 million subscribers, 50% are digital.
Interestingly, a 50% digital rate probably puts them far above all of the other "Old" periodicals.
Of course they've built it all using AWS and I would love to learn more about how they leverage that platform.
Even with that, NYT has to be much bigger and their profit is only around 2x Economists. Economist is pretty big in most metrics.
