I think it’s clever and I wonder how successful this campaign is, but I like The New York Times idea of offering gift subscriptions for students. So, if you are an adult who believes in newspapers, the importance of a free press and its role in a democracy, perhaps you would like to introduce a young person to what you consider to be an essential part of keeping informed.
Here is the deal:
The New York Times will match every subscription sponsored with your contribution. At an average cost of $3 per annual student subscription, a $50 contribution can fund a mid-sized class for one year.
