Sign Of The Times: The New York Times Has More Twitter Followers Than Print Subscribers

The New York Times has a great online brand and business, as we have pointed out repeatedly. It also has a print business that is imploding and dragging down the rest of the company.

The NYT is one of the most successful newspapers on the web, but also on Twitter, with more than 2.6 million followers, handily beating, say, the Wall Street Journal's paltry 482,000.

To put this into perspective, that's more than twice as large as the New York Times' print circulation, which is slightly under a million copies for the daily copy of the paper.
