My New York Times Subscription
Figure [1]: For a whopping 19.99 Dollars a month, the New York Times is delivered daily to Angelika's Kindle.

Angelika Political topics interest me a lot. Every day, I watch the one-hour news program 'News Hour' on the public broadcaster PBS, and often 'Charlie Rose' as well. I also read the weekly magazine 'The New Yorker' and important articles online in the 'Süddeutsche Zeitung' and 'Die Zeit.' It is highly interesting to compare the reporting in various publications. The renowned 'New York Times' naturally cannot be omitted from this list.

Since newspapers no longer make money with their print versions because everyone now reads the news online, more and more publications are starting to charge for their online articles. For example, the New York Times offers only 10 free articles per month. A reader can extend this a bit by accessing the New York Times site on different devices, such as on a desktop computer, a laptop, and a phone. But that hasn't been enough for me for a long time, because I love reading the comments from various journalists on New York Times opinion page.

Figure [2]: That's the way Angelika reads a selection of articles every day.

These articles are called "Op-Ed" here, by the way, because they are traditionally found on the page opposite the editorial page (Op-Ed: "opposite the editorial page"). Anyway, for our anniversary, Michael gave me a Kindle. And when I started using it, there was another surprise: the Kindle had a New York Times subscription loaded on it. However, not all articles from the New York Times are included in the daily Kindle version, but a selection is. This selection is quite extensive, and the subscription includes unlimited access to the articles on the New York Times website. By the way, the subscription costs $19.99 per month. Now, every day I diligently read the articles on my Kindle and feel like Gesine Cresspahl in the book "Anniversaries" by Uwe Johnson. This protagonist also constantly reads the New York Times.
