TimesSelect is now free for students and faculty with a .edu e-mail address.
The link to sign up for the .edu’ed in the audience is here: TimesSelect University E-mail Verification.
Is this a clever plot, as Stephen Bainbridge suggests, to try and hook the young’uns on TimesSelect? Or is it a way to let a lot of bloggers promote the NYT’s columnists while still charging most folks?
More likely than not it is a way to try and encourage profs to use the Times in their classes.
Regardless, now that it’s free (for me, if not for thee) I will be inclined to read some of it again.

If one subscribes even to just the Sunday or Saturday paper, you are entitled to TimesSelect. My prediction is that daily newspapers will disappear except on a few newsstands, but will remain as Sunday and possibly even Saturday papers. I love the weekends, especially Saturday as I have time to read the WSJ, NYT and LAT.
