On the call today, we have Meredith Kopit Levien, President and Chief Executive Officer; and Will Bardeen, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Before we begin, I would like to remind you that we'll be making forward-looking statements including about our business strategy and performance based on our current expectations.

Q2 was a great quarter for the Times. Our world-class journalism and premium lifestyle content continued to draw large audiences and powered strong results for the company. This was a quarter where we made substantial progress against all of our priorities for the year.
First, we continued to cover the world's most important stories from politics to pop culture, from wildfires to wellness. Journalists around the globe reported on the ongoing conflict in the Strait of Hormuz, escalating drone warfare between Ukraine and Russia and the rapid advances in powerful AI models. We comprehensively covered the primaries in the U.S., a historic heat wave in Europe, and an epic few weeks in New York that saw the Knicks win their first championship in over 50 years and Taylor Swift tied the knot with Travis Kelce.
Second, we presented our journalism in lifestyle products in all the ways people want to engage with them, including video. We're now producing thousands of new videos each quarter to reach the enormous audience for video in all the places people watch, including our own destinations. Just this week, we launched a shows tab in our flagship app, creating a new way to experience our long-form franchises in news, opinion, culture and lifestyle.
