New York Times Profits Drop 82%
Women, minorities hardest hit.
NEW YORK (AP) - New York Times Co. says its second-quarter earnings fell 82 percent from the year-ago quarter boosted by a one-time gain. Meanwhile, print advertising revenue continued to shrink.
The New York-based newspaper publisher says its quarterly net income dropped to $21.1 million, or 15 cents per share, which included 11 cents per share in buyout costs.

Chief Executive Janet Robinson says business was hurt by the "U.S. economic slowdown and secular forces playing out across the media industry."

mostly plummeted.
I wonder what else could be causing this steep decline in revenue and circulation? It's a mystery. Fell free to share your theories and celebratory comments below.
