The subscription includes all news content on nytimes.com and the New York Times News App

Columbia University students, faculty, and staff have full access to all news content on nytimes.com and The New York Times News App for iOS or Android. This means that Columbia students can access all articles on the New York Times website, but not any of the premium features such as Cooking or Games (Crosswords).

It is worth noting that if a student already has an active paid subscription to The New York Times, they must cancel it before registering for the Columbia University Libraries-sponsored digital NYT account. This is because it is not possible to use the same email address for both a personal and a Columbia University Libraries-sponsored digital NYT account.

In addition to The New York Times, Columbia University students also have access to other newspaper and magazine subscriptions through ProQuest, such as The Wall Street Journal and The Financial Times.

Students can access historical news through the TimesMachine, a searchable site of digitised issues from 1851-2002

Columbia University students no longer seem to have free subscriptions to the New York Times. However, they can access the TimesMachine, a searchable site of digitised issues of the newspaper from 1851 to 2002.

The TimesMachine is a valuable resource for students interested in historical news. It provides searchable and browsable page scans of every issue of The New York Times published during this period. This includes articles, photos, and ads as they originally appeared in the print edition.

To access the TimesMachine, students must first register for a free New York Times account. They can then log in to this account on the NYTimes website and navigate to the TimesMachine website. Once there, they can search for specific topics, people, or events using the search bar and adjusting the date range to narrow their results.

Articles published between 1851 and 1980 are also available as downloadable PDFs for personal use, with a limit of up to 100 downloads per month. This feature can be especially useful for students who may want to access articles offline or keep them for future reference.

By utilising the TimesMachine, Columbia University students can explore historical news coverage, gain insights into past events, and conduct research for their academic endeavours.
