Dow Jones & Co., the parent of The Wall Street Journal, reported third-quarter earnings Thursday in which it disclosed that advertising at the paper was down during the third quarter, but subscriptions rose.
“Consumer Media had an operating loss of $4.2 million in the third quarter, seasonally its weakest quarter, which was a significant improvement over its loss of $18.0 million in the third quarter of 2006, due to cost-saving initiatives and strong profit leverage on increased revenues. Adjusted for acquisitions, Consumer Media revenue increased 0.9%, while the segment had an operating loss of $3.2 million, which was a significant improvement from the prior year’s loss of $18.7 million.
“Paid subscribers to The Wall Street Journal Online grew 25.5% in the third quarter to 989,000 driven in part by the success of an offer for new subscribers to receive both the print and Online Journal.”
