CNN only survived so long because of Trump.
The NYT would have gone next had it not reinvented itself as a source of crosswords, recipes and games.
NYT readership has gone up over the last five years substantially. It's not because of crosswords.
It's partly because of crosswords. NYT has been smart about diversifying what it provides to readers and subscribers.

Exactly.
"the Times is heavily pushing what it calls internally “the bundle.” That is an all-access product that also includes Games and Cooking verticals, audio, the Wirecutter product information site and now The Athletic, which the Times purchased for $550 million in January."
It is an information/ entertainment platform, not a newspaper.
CNN didn't want or couldn't evolve that way. I guess they could have hired Oprah and Dr. Phil to host some prime-time programs.
