"The site has been profitable since 2002 and is free to view. As well as a growing UK audience, Times Online has an expanding international readership, attracted by the newspapers' reputation for news, views, expertise and outstanding quality journalism. The new site builds on its strength in reporting world issues such as global warming, the Middle East, US politics and international business with new multimedia content."

We have listened to our audience and looked at our competitive set and developed a dynamic multimedia website centred on news plus views – those of our own writers and our users. Times Media has fully embraced the cultural shift to digital publishing and 2007 will be a year of constant innovation as we continue to introduce new content and capabilities to the site in the coming months."
