I've got a subscription. When I finally felt on my feet as a programmer I got a subscription to the NY Times and my hometown paper. I think we should support publications that do good work, rather than trying to avoid them/hack around it.

If you're a working programmer/job-in-tech a newspaper subscriptions is almost nothing money wise, but contributes lots back.

Sure, if you don't mind the NYT/WaPo in their current incarnation as the official organs of the establishment.
