Even more money? The delicious graphs at http://www.bildblog.de/auflage.php show twelve consecutive years of decline. That's not "even more money".

That's only offline sales. They know this business is dead and aggressively push their online services.

I don't see a downward trend in their over-all profits: http://de.statista.com/statistik/daten/studie/451654/umfrage...

> Größter Wachstumstreiber ist das Geschäft mit Kleinanzeigen im Internet wie Immobilien-, Job- und Autoportalen. Hier verfolge Springer eine "sehr aggressive Wachstumsstrategie", sagte Döpfner. Das Ergebnis in diesen Rubrikenmärkten kletterte binnen Jahresfrist um 35,2 Prozent auf 221 Millionen Euro und steuerte damit rund 44 Prozent des gesamten Konzerngewinns bei. [1]

But most of their profits are generated by their online markets for cars, houses and jobs, not their digital journalism.

Oddly, that graph starts after the graph to which I linked. I can't find anything that covers more years (don't have time to search thoroughly now).

BTW I like your choice of adverb.
