I started a digital NYTimes subscription this year to put my money where my mouth was. Obviously there's limited Canadian content there, but they still do fantastic journalism, and the weekend magazine articles are just good reading. I'm glad I did it, it's good stuff.
I find very little value on the Herald website to do the same though. Yes, theres local content, but the vast majority of it seems like regurgitated AP articles and fluff. I'm not expecting the same level of journalism as the NYTimes, but even so it always comes across like a skeletal operation.
