Despite cash being a bit tight, I decided to subscribe to the NY Times and Washington Post. Why? Mainly because they're offering digital subscriptions for under $10 per month. I've wanted to support them for a while, but I simply could not justify the prices they were asking. I really want newspapers to survive, but it seemed they were being greedy with their pricing.
I'd personally prefer to have a pdf emailed to me daily, instead of being required to log in to their sites every day (I set my system to delete cookies daily).
In the age of Trump, I believe it's vital to have such venerable institutions to expose that man-baby. I'm just glad they came up with more reasonable pricing.
I have not subscribed to my local newspaper (Seattle Times) because they still have greedy pricing. I'm also pissed at them for lending their support to the scheme of giving county taxpayer money to a billionaire, to "maintain" Safeco field. I'm even more pissed that my county councillor aided in the fraud. That's another story though, and I have a FOIA request in working on it.
