| NYT.com to charge for Op-Ed, other content as of Sept (NYT) By Carolyn Pritchard SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- The New York Times Co. (NYT) on Monday said that, starting in September, access to Op-Ed and certain of its top news columnists on the paper's NYTimes.com Web site will only be available through a fee of $49.95 a year. The service, known as TimesSelect, will also allow access to The Times's online archives, early access to select articles on the site, and other features. Home-delivery subscribers will automatically receive the service, the NYT said. LOL - Wonder what genius thought this would bring in market share and revenoooo? HT to Cracker Barrel Philosopher |

| #6 Anonymoose: You don't have to deal with the online version. NYT publishes a year's collection in book form, available at your friendly neighborhood big box bookstore. Now if I could just fine a book of Cryptics as easily!:) |
