FWIW, if you happen to be based in the U.S., you might find that your local public library provides 3-day NYT subscriptions free of charge, which whilst annoying is probably easier than fighting the paywall. Of course this only applies to the NYT.
In the Netherlands the library provides free access to thousands of newspapers for 5 days after visiting, including The Economist and WSJ, which actually have paywalls that aren't trivial to bypass.
PressReader allows reading various newspapers (in their newspaper form), the short sub to NYT I mentioned is a bit different and gives you access to the online version.
