Every day, journalists at The Times and other mission-driven, independent news organizations around the world work hard to hold the powerful to account. To celebrate their work and press freedom, The Times is taking down its paywall from May 3 to 5 so everyone who registers can browse as many articles as they like. NYT
Once a mighty giant, celebrated and despised;
giving us Red Ryder, showing wrongdoers chastised.
The Times and other juggernauts are chastened nowadays;
but that don't mean they still can't flex their muscles and amaze.
Their staffs have been depleted as the internet presumes
to give us journalism when it's really only fumes.
And so I lift a cup of ink to journals of all kinds;
their keen reporting saves us from the void of narrow minds.
