Really want to stress that cancelling your @nytimes subscriptions is not the solution. Consuming--and funding--less good journalism is not the answer. Being rigorous consumers of the news who hold sources of it accountable from a place of informed engagement is a better approach.
The reason I am telling you not to cancel your Times subscription is because there are places in the world where indescribable things happen to human beings, and the industry is in freefall, so most journalism there is really only being done by NYT and a handful of other outlets.
If enough of you cancel your Times subscriptions, there is even less money and space to tell important stories from overseas, and interrupt America from our constant navel-gazing. I just don't think that can be a good thing until we figure out better ways to tell those stories.
FYI verbally abusing me for saying this is not helping your case for a rational and well-thought-out position on this matter; neither is blaming me, a freelancer who has been battling years of job insecurity, for the evils of the industry that essentially exploits me thanks
