Will benefit from AI. They have a multi-year licensing deal with Amazon to use the NYT articles to train AI models (this costs NYT nothing).

A media company does better when their core readership hates the existing President (NYT readers hate Trump), so NYT would so well if Trump is elected. NYT shares did nothing under Obama, but rallied during Trump. In 2016-2020, their subscription base grew at a 42% compound annual growth rate. Actual reading is flat, but games like Wordle are the growth driver.

DON'T BUY

DON'T BUY

The difficulty with a lot of the newspaper companies is that revenues have actually fallen off and the internet is slowly scooping that up. More and more people are a lot more comfortable reading stuff on the web and that's really going to hurt them.
