"Down" Is The News

Reported

The...New York Times Co., has been experimenting with a new online revenue model for two months now — a paywall that charges readers for access to more than a certain number of articles. In April, the first full month of the paywall, nytimes.com had 32.9 million unique visitors, still ahead of huffingtonpost.com’s 29.9 million.

But HuffPo took the lead in May with 35.6 million unique visitors compared to 33.6 for the NYT.

For the period from May 2010 to May 2011, the New York Times’ website hit a high of 38.1 unique visitors in March 2011, just before the introduction of the paywall.

Do I understand that the NYT has lost numbers, from 38.1 million in March 2011 to 33.6 million in May?


UPDATE

They're fighting.
