The New York Times Digital is now available to all CUNY students, faculty and staff! The CUNY account now entitles all people with cuny.edu and cuny.tv email domains to acquire a subscription to the digital NYTimes. Once an account is created, access is available from anywhere with a NYTimes login.
Anyone who initiates an account will have an active subscription for one year from the date he/she creates the account. If a patron already has an annual subscription to the NYTimes, he/she can cancel it and will receive a refund. However, if the patron only has a monthly subscription, the New York Times will not issue a refund for that month.
The academic digital subscription works as a regular digital NYTimes subscription with two exceptions:
The Office of Library Services has negotiated with Dow Jones to allow all members of the CUNY community to access the Wall Street Journal! Everybody with CUNY Login credentials can activate a digital subscription.
Go to https://wsj.com/cuny to activate your "membership" and then go to "the Journal" at www.wsj.com.
Current subscribers can call 1-800-JOURNAL (1-800-568-7625) to switch from their paid subscription to the membership through their campus and they will be refunded the remaining balance of their subscription.
In addition to your subscription, a membership includes:
All faculty & staff retain WSJ membership for one year after activating. After that, they will have to re-activate their membership.
When a student activates their membership, they are required to input their graduation date & year. This is their membership expiration date. If they graduate later than expected and lose access, they can re-activate their membership.
CUNY has subscriptions to several databases that contain the full text of newspaper articles from American and international publications:
Alternatively, you can search for a particular newspaper:
