New York Times Co. reported its biggest quarterly increase in digital subscribers in two years, partly by bringing more traffic to its website from social media.

The publisher added 47,000 digital subscribers last quarter and now has 957,000 in total. The gains helped Times Co. post first-quarter earnings that beat analysts’ estimates even as overall advertising revenue continues to drop.
