The New York Times added digital subscribers more slowly in the second quarter despite a busy news cycle that included the U. S. -Israeli war with Iran and the FIFA World Cup, worrying investors who sent its shares down more than 13%. The newspaper added about 280,000 digital-only subscribers in the second quarter, lower than an estimate of 295,300 from Visible Alpha and the 310,000 it added in the previous quarter. Its total subscriber count now stands at 13.
