Picture: Times MediaThe Times of London is a brand forever associated with broadsheet journalism – but it is increasingly consumed on a 7cm-wide smartphone screen. The Times app, which had a major overhaul in May, is now probably the title’s most financially important publishing platform. The Times, Sunday Times and Times Literary Supplement claimed 629,000 digital subscribers at the end of March (up 8% year on year) and Roussel says the majority choose to read The Times on the app. App readers are more likely to renew their subscription and they consume more content than website readers. In the last month Times readers have shared 1.7 million articles, he said.
