Free New York Times Digital subscription
All students for the course are encouraged to sign up for their free CUNY New York Times digital account. The CUNY account entitles all people with cuny.edu email to acquire a subscription to the digital NYTimes. Once an account is created, access is available from anywhere with a NYTimes login.
Anyone who initiates an account will have an active subscription for one year from the date she/he creates the account. If you already have an annual subscription to the NYTimes, you can cancel it and will receive a refund. However, if you only have a monthly subscription, the New York Times will not issue a refund for that month.
