Gray Lady Puts Out, Gives It Away For Free
It appears that Philips is pimping The New York Times Online Edition, offering free access to all comers from November 6-12.
Nothing, it seems, is out of bounds, including the archives, which date back to 1851, and even the la-di-da Select Features articles and columns that are usually available exclusively on a pay to play basis.
The Times is, no doubt, offering these freebies in hopes that we cyber-moochers will find its more expensive charms addictive and start forking over cash to spend a little time together once it returns to its “No Money, No Honey” policy.
I guess that’s just a risk I’m going to have to take.
