The New York Times has always been good at digital things. They have a decent API and have digitized a lot of historical articles from the 20th century.

Speaking of their API, a recently new one is the Archive API (I only noticed it this past year), which makes it much easier to download all of their article metadata. It used to be you had to paginate through their articles API, which was limited in its number of paginated results. Now you can get all of the articles and their metadata for any given year and month, which makes it a great place for practicing data mining and other classification techniques.

Example result for 2016-11 (around 18mb in size):

I've tried using their API and the one for comments is not reliable. It typically errors out (abruptly) when you're retrieving comments for an article. Posts/comments to their developer forum also typically goes unanswered for months and sometimes never.
