In the fall of 2021, we announced that ZSR was providing campus-wide access to the New York Times. We’re excited to share that students, staff, and faculty can now enjoy New York Times All Access from ZSR. Access includes everything The New York Times offers:

  • News: Understand the world with original reporting from 1,700 journalists.
  • Games: Spelling Bee, Wordle, The Crossword and more.
  • Cooking: Recipes, advice, and inspiration for any occasion.
  • Wirecutter: Independent reviews for thousands of products.
  • The Athletic: In-depth, personalized sports journalism.

We hope you will find this to be a valuable resource!

How to get New York Times All Access through ZSR

If you don’t currently have an active NYTimes account, then use this link to activate your access with your WFU email address.

If you currently use a personal or WFU email address for your NYTimes account, and you haven’t activated your access through WFU, you will need to cancel your existing NYTimes account. We recommend that you wait 24 hours after your paid access expires, and then use this link to activate your access with your WFU email address. You can then log in with your WFU credentials through Google.

If you currently have access to NYTimes News through WFU:

  • And you don’t have an active paid subscription to any of the Access features above (Games, Cooking, etc.), then your account should be automatically updated to include the All Access features. You will, however, need to download the respective apps and log in with your WFU credentials through Google.
  • And you also have an active paid subscription to any of the Access features above (Games, Cooking, etc.), then you will need to cancel your existing subscriptions. We recommend waiting 24 hours after your paid access expires to log back into these apps using your WFU credentials through Google. If you are still not able to log in, we recommend going through the activation process again using this link and then trying again.

If you have trouble setting up or logging into your account, Ask ZSR!
