I find this statement confusing. Are they trying to say that only 787,000 people have read the NYTimes on-line over the last 2 years? I'd find that hard to believe.
The way I parse the statement, they had 560,000 paying subscribers before they introduced Times Select. Now, thanks to Times Select, they have 787,000 -- 227,000 more.

Remember you don't want the hits to the free content. You want the hits to the area
behind the gate at which you have to pay for access. 787,000 unique visitors to the gated part of the site sounds reasonable to me.
