A continuing drop in classified ads and cutbacks in spending by movie studios, car companies and hotels were offset only partially by a rise in revenue from media, financial services, advocacy and health care ads for a net drop of 16.2 percent.
The company's flagship The New York Times paper had 15.3 percent lower ad revenue. At its New England media group, which includes The Boston Globe, July ad revenue dropped 24.5 percent.
Newspapers across the country have seen revenue decline as advertisers shift spending online and circulation slips.
Total online ad revenue rose 0.9 percent in the company's News Media Group, and circulation revenue fell 0.5 percent.
The company said its overall Internet revenue rose 2.6 percent with online ad revenue adding 5.5 percent, boosted by gains at its About.com Web site.
For the year to date, total revenue from continuing operations has fallen 6.1 percent to $1.73 billion.
The company said online advertising for its News Media Group is rising in August with improvement in display advertising revenue at NYTimes.com.
