I used to be a subscriber for 20+ years, they are worth their money.

Why "used to", then? because a couple of years ago I could not basically find a way to have my paper version subscription renewed. I was literally not able to renew it! after a few "chats" with their sales reps, I gave up in frustration and discovered I can live without.

IIRC, thew wanted you to have the electronic version at all costs, while I'm happy with paper.

In any case, in an age of vapourware crappy SEO articles, they have a lot of meat, and a global world-view. It's the best way to spend money on news.

I have digital+print. They improved the print version again, so you can remove the glue sticker from the pretty cover, it's embedded in a water-proof shell and the format is simply the best.

I receive the physical "newspaper," but typically consume the content through the audio version, about 8-9 hours every week. Pretty good value for $100-150/year!
