A winning combination – coffee and news! Starbucks and The New York Times Company announced a new partnership yesterday. Starting early next year, My Starbucks Rewards members will have free access to certain New York Times articles on the Starbucks mobile app, reports GeekWire. Some of the handpicked stories will include the Times’ top news of the day, daily and weekend briefings, and a handful of other articles “addressing key social, political and economic issues.” Starbucks loyalty members will also be able to earn reward points ("Stars") with the purchase of digital or print subscriptions to The Times. The coffee giant also plans to recommend articles from other media sources over time.
