TimesSelect is now free for students and faculty with a .edu e-mail address.

The link to sign up for the .edu’ed in the audience is here: TimesSelect University E-mail Verification.

Is this a clever plot, as Stephen Bainbridge suggests, to try and hook the young’uns on TimesSelect? Or is it a way to let a lot of bloggers promote the NYT’s columnists while still charging most folks?

More likely than not it is a way to try and encourage profs to use the Times in their classes.

Regardless, now that it’s free (for me, if not for thee) I will be inclined to read some of it again.

    1. If one subscribes even to just the Sunday or Saturday paper, you are entitled to TimesSelect. My prediction is that daily newspapers will disappear except on a few newsstands, but will remain as Sunday and possibly even Saturday papers. I love the weekends, especially Saturday as I have time to read the WSJ, NYT and LAT.

      Still, I confess that there is something about the Sunday paper.

    3. A school for Masochists

      TFM paid for Times Select for over a year before deciding to get the newspaper on a daily basis. Now I feel cheated.(Sarcastic laughter time)

      So starting my own school looks like the next option. Anyone have a whip and some handcuffs I can borrow?…

    4. TimesSelect Free For College Students, Faculty, Acquantainces . . .

      The NYT has decided to make “TimesSelect,” their system of putting their least essential content behind a subscription wall so bloggers won’t read and comment on it, free to university students and faculty. Since I am no longer a me…
