Here's a guide to using the Wayback Machine (web.archive.org) to get around newspaper paywalls legally and share articles with anyone. Copy the link to the article. Go to web.archive.org (which can easily be found by searching for "wayback machine). Paste the link in and hit "enter."
@Rachel_Thorn NYT has a feature for gifting. Subscribers can gift up to 10 articles to share to anyone even on a social media. But I love way back machine. I use it often for other sites too.
