NY Times Op-Ed Page Goes Subscriber-Only

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the salaries-to-pay dept.

kevinatilusa writes "The New York Times has announced an expanded subscription service to be launched this September. Subscriptions will cost $49.95 per year and include access to both the Times archives (currently available on a pay-by-the-article basis) and to the paper's op-ed columnists (currently available for free, but probably not for long). The Times also posted a more detailed explanation (registration required) for their decision."

    ...is Maureen Dowd. Much hotter than Bill Safire, anyway :P

    Besides, there are plenty of good independent op-ed news sources out there that will remain free.
    Roland Piquepaille, for instance.

    Between blogs and indy news sources at least your information will be stripped of the shock sensationalism the major news sources try to rope you in with.
