Customer Reviews of New York Times - National Edition

Loved it until I got a subscription
I always liked the NY Times--I started reading it because we had a program in college where you could get it for free. After I graduated, my boyfriend bought me a subscription for a present. I received maybe 3 papers a week. The delivery driver managed to get it everywhere except someplace where I could find it. I called to request that the delivery person at least get it in the vicinity of my yard, to no avail. I cancelled it long before the subscription was up, because it was too frustrating to not receive my paper and to deal with customer service. <

>I ended up getting a subscription to The Economist instead, and I have been a very happy subscriber for more than 5 years. With the relatively recent scandals at the Times, and some of the more overt political pressures they cave to, I'm glad I made the switch. The Economist is a British paper, and it's nice to get an outsider's view of the US. They also do a MUCH better job of providing world news, as well as backstories and stories in progress or events that have the potential to shape world events. It's only published weekly, but they update their website daily. Consider it a viable replacement. People who like the Times for its progressive views may be hesitant because The Economist is conservative, but only fiscally so, it is not usually socially conservative.

NYTimes makes a wonderful gift
If you are trying to find the perfect gift for one of the intelligent, hard-to-gift persons on your list, a subscription to the New York Times may be a well-received solution. <

>I had requested a subscription to the New York Times for every occasion (birthday, Christmas, Valentines, etc.) for the past three years, and every year until Christmas 2005, my family and friends disregarded the paper as an odd, if not un-giftable, item to request. Fortunately, my fiance's mother and sister decided to go into a 12-week subscription together. I look forward to Sunday mornings as though each one were a new Christmas. The blue plastic bag in the drive way is a cause for celebration each week-end morning. After the first 12 weeks of the year, I became so accustomed to my week-end ritual of the paper, coffee and Meet the Press that I made room in my own budget to include the price of the subscription. <

>I prefer the New York Times over other news publications for a very simple reason: it is written to my level and I never feel as though the writers are talking down to me or simplifying the story. I have heard cries of liberal bias concerning this publication, especially the editorials, but when I read this paper, I get the sense that they really want me to know and understand all sides to a story. Few newspapers devote space to complete copies of primary documents (speeches, proposed bills and amendments, etc.) like the New York Times consistently does and this allows me to make up my own opinion on the issues.

The BEST U.S. Newspaper
News is well researched and balanced, and I especially like their columnists such as Paul Krugman, Thomas Friedman, Bob Herbert, and Maureen Dowd. In addition there is the excellent weekly NYT Book Review, and the occasional scoop - eg. the NSA spying flap.
