DO NOT SUBSCRIBE TO THEM I stupidly subscribed to the New York Times as part of a student deal they had where it was £4 a month for a year. After a few months I decided to cancel as I did not have the time to read the website. In order to cancel you have to ring the customer service in the US who are incompetent and rude. I never received a confirmation of my cancellation, just an email saying I was about to lose access. In the weeks and months following this, I received roughly 30 emails saying I was going to lose access and my payment information needed updating. This month, I was charged onto my credit card for this membership which I had not agreed to. I then found out I had been charged for several months. Bank refunded me so no need to call the incompetent and useless NYT Customer service. All I can say is do not waste your time subscribing to this paper.

The NY Times has zero tolerance policy when it comes to racism - or so they say. They've recently come under fire for hiring Sarah Jeong, however, a person who made tweets worthy of imprisonment in other countries (including incitement of violence/calling for genocide). The NY Times defended her by lying, claiming that Jeong was only retaliating against trolls, which isn't true because she was not responding to anybody with her racist tweets. Besides that, the paper is increasingly becoming lop-sided. They used to present all or at least multiple possible angles to their stories. But no more. Now it's just one pre-packaged opinion they would like you to swallow. In the rare instances in which they still present differing views, they never offer one that contradicts their own opinion - which is the hallmark of a propaganda outlet, not a newspaper. I am massively displeased.
