In case you’re wondering how my broke ass manages to read and link paywalled content from The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Washington Post, it’s because the Los Angeles Public Library grants me access to all three for free.
If you’re a fellow American, it’s worth looking into whether not a library serving you offers the same. Note that “library serving you” doesn’t necessarily mean your local library. As a CA resident, I’m eligible for a card damn near anywhere in the state.
