As I mentioned Monday, the New York Times is now charging for access to most of its “premium” Op-Ed content. While I’m not really going to miss reading Krugman, Dowd et al, the blogosphere has already found a way around the firewall, and its entirely legal.
Pssst… The New York Times says that as of yesterday, “To continue reading [Bob Herbert or Paul Krugman], you must be a subscriber to TimesSelect,” their new $50-a-year service. But the Minneapolis-St. Paul Star Tribune and The Unofficial Paul Krugman Archive say that you can read ‘em for free (if, for some reason, you want to). If the Times is going to make any money off this, “Herbert’s Heroes” and the like are going to have to be a whole lot more interesting than they sound.
H/T to John Tabin who has created this useful site for those who simply must get their daily fix of Paul Krugman, though I hear there’s a pill for that now.
