You can get internet and mobile access for $3.75 a week.

http://www.nytimes.com/subscriptions/Multiproduct/lp5558.htm...

All of that content, written, designed and published by some of the best news producers in the world.

It's instantly accessible, from anywhere you are. Updated all the time.

I simply cannot understand how you could argue all of that is worth no more than $1. Even $5 a week for an Internet/mobile subscription is reasonable considering the volume of edited and proofed material you get.

It's unfortunate that the mashables and reddits of the world have so soundly devalued the expectation of quality in news reporting.

Why do they split out the pricing for smartphone and tablet? I think the digital should be one flat fee, so I can switch between my devices (#firstworldproblem) .

Split price for "smartphone and tablet" is only for people who use their stupid app. Reading via an RSS reader or even web browser is far more convenient anyway.
