NY Times "TimesSelect" free for students, faculty
I've been wondering how my old friends Tom Friedman and Nicholas Kristof have been doing; now I can find out.
Apparently the NY Times is offering free access to its "TimesSelect" content to anyone with a university e-mail address. I'm not sure if they realize that anyone who has graduated in the past 3 years? has such an address... but we'll keep that a secret.
Go here.
I understand why they're doing it: get the college kids hooked, and they when the graduate and get rich (haha), they'll fork over the $50 per year like some non-poor New Yorkers apparently already do.
For the reason I described above, it could be problematic when the Times realizes graduates have no incentive to pay -- I know of no universities that "revoke" official e-mail addresses from graduates.
Anyway, this is good news.
