There’s good news for Amazon Prime users who are avid news readers: The online retail giant recently announced a new deal that will allow Prime members to enjoy temporarily free, unlimited access to The Washington Post.

Prime members will be given six months to freely peruse the Post‘s National Digital Edition, according to the company’s announcement this morning.

“Offering free access to new subscribers through Prime allows us to connect with millions of members nationwide who may not have tried the Post in the past,” Steve Hills, president and general manager of the Post, said in a statement.

After the free trial period, Prime members will be able to purchase subscriptions to the newspaper for a monthly rate of $3.99, a 60 percent discount off the usual retail price.

Twitter took to the political sphere this week to announce a partnership with mobile payment company Square, Inc., that will let users donate to U.S. candidates via a Tweet. The opportunity to accept donations through social media could become a powerful player for associations and other organizations down the road. In fact, Square has already made online donations easier with its $Cashtag option, which allows individuals and organizations to personalize a link for donation purposes.
