According to the company’s recent financial reports, it had improved profits and increase its revenue. A significant percentage of the revenue came from advertisements and the digital subscription initiative which reduced the number of printed copies thereby reducing the operating profit. The increase in gross profit margin is an indication that the company’s business model is working despite realizing a decline in the total revenue in the third quarter of 2016. The company launched the digital subscription initiative which lured many customers and led to increasing in the number of subscriptions. This increase is also reflected in the revenues. Therefore, its business model will remain sound for as long as more customers get involved and the company keeps posting positive results. The company is continuously creating new products for clients which improve the customer base; this justifies further that the business model will remain sound.
