Hacker News Reader

FWIW, if you happen to be based in the U.S., you might find that your local public library provides 3-day NYT subscriptions free of charge, which whilst annoying is probably easier than fighting the paywall. Of course this only applies to the NYT.

In the Netherlands the library provides free access to thousands of newspapers for 5 days after visiting, including The Economist and WSJ, which actually have paywalls that aren't trivial to bypass.

I just checked and the Berlin public library offers press reader as well. Will need to check that out.

Thanks for the tip!

How do you bypass the paywall with it? I can only read the “newspaper version” on their site it seems.

Edit: Just read your comment again. I assume that’s exactly what you meant.

PressReader allows reading various newspapers (in their newspaper form), the short sub to NYT I mentioned is a bit different and gives you access to the online version.

Example for LA libraries: https://www.lapl.org/new-york-times-digital

Your local library might have a similar offering specifically for the NYT.
