He added that when thinking about sites and products that fall outside of the Times’ “core” business of news, there’s a lot of potential for crossover, something the company is just starting to delve into more. “But I want to say that separate from story and we don’t comment on such stories.” “We do have some international licensing of Wirecutter content and, over time, we will definitely consider whether there are ways of building an international business, alongside its growing and very successful domestic business,” Thompson said. “We straightforwardly don’t comment on conversations with partners,” he sad.īut Thompson did mention how “pleased” he’s been with Wirecutter’s performance and that the plan is to expand it from its current focus on the U.S. Chief executive officer Mark Thompson, speaking to analysts on Wednesday about the company’s quarterly results, declined to address the report on Amazon.
Wirecutter is an emerging area of focus for the Times, as it looks to hit 10 million digital subscribers by 2025.
