Here are some more recent numbers [1]:
Quarter 1 2018:
$414m total revenue
$260m subscription revenue (62% of total)
$154m non-subscription revenue (38% of total)
$46.7m digital advertising revenue (37% of total advertising revenue)
$126.2m total advertising revenue
If you cut digital advertising completely, not just for subscribers, you could make it up by increasing subscription price by around 10%, assuming 100% of subscribers would bear the new price.
The interesting statistic that we don't have is how much digital advertising revenue comes from paid vs unpaid readers.

- gmjoe 8y agoNot sure I follow. If you're using 46.7/260 that's an 18% increase (not 10%), but that's all subscribers (including print), not just digital. So a yearly print subscription would go from $422.50 to $500 here in New York. I'm not sure print subscribers would want to subsidize digital readers like that, especially when their own print edition is already chock-full of ads.
