The New York Times and Spotify have come together to offer a new subscription package. For $5 a week, new Times All Access subscribers will also receive a complimentary Spotify Premium subscription. It requires a one-year commitment, and is available only to U.S. residents who do not currently pay for either The Times or Spotify. Sign up here.

In a press release, Meredith Kopit Levien (executive vice president and chief revenue officer of the New York Times Company) said, ”News and music have gone hand-in-hand since the early days of radio, and because personalization and curation are central to what both The Times and Spotify do so well, we created an experience for Times readers that gives them access to all the news and all the music that they want in one premier subscription."

no idea if current subscribers of both can cancel their subs and jump into this, but figure this will motivate some of you to jump in on some good, clean "fake news".

I can live with that.

You also get two bonus NYT subs to gift, if I'm reading that correctly.

Spotify is $10/mo already.
