WaPo is $4 a month for the 50% of US households who have Amazon Prime. That's about a quarter of the price of what NYT is asking for, with a quality and political bent that's fairly similar. NYT can't compete until its on a much closer pricing footing.
- pzone 9y agoAlthough WaPo is a great paper, NYT is still worth twice as much to me. There's nothing else like it.

A few articles every week covering the highlights. Too much is happening too fast for them to keep up these days.
- aezell 9y agoThe NYT site and app are VASTLY superior to the Post's. I subscribe to both and find that I turn to the NYT more often because the reading experience is so much better.
