There are no more important foundations of a democratic and civil society than a free and fair press. Journalists have the power to bring light to the truth and to bring truth to power. In my opinion, no one does that better than the New York Times, and I am proud to be a home subscriber.
A great example of the hard-hitting reporting they do is a recent article and podcast on an outrageous website that encourages people to commit suicide and that provides detailed instructions and "moral support" on how to successfully complete the suicide act. The people who run this site were outed through the Times' reporting, and the article brought to light how horrific this site is and the hidden costs associated with it.
"Enjoy" is not the right word, but I hope you appreciate this reporting. We should never take our press for granted.
