The Athletic

Post by FayetteDore »

Was pleasantly surprised yesterday to get an email from the NYTimes informing me that, since the Times acquired The Athletic, I can get The Athletic free as part of my NYT subscription. All I had to do was activate the Athletic subscription and select the teams and leagues I want to follow, which of course I jumped on.

Cool.

Meanwhile, does Gannett still charge extra for "special editions" like the Thanksgiving day edition? You know -- the daily newspaper that used to be part of a regular subscription.

Did you do that through the NYT site or The Athletic site?

I got an email from the NYT informing me that I could get the Athletic, with all the details. The NYT email contained an activation link, which I clicked. I got a confirmation email that allowed me to click another link to choose the teams and leagues I want to follow.

Damn. I don't read all my emails, so may have missed that one.

My email arrived at 5:06 pm CT Tuesday, with this subject line: "Home Delivery now includes The Athletic".

(My Sunday NYT print subscription gives me full NYT digital access -- and now, the Athletic too.)

I'm not only a New York Times, but an Athletic supporter.
