WASHINGTON--The White House is planning to instruct federal agencies to not renew their subscriptions to the New York Times and the Washington Post, administration officials said, escalating President Trump's attacks on the media outlets.
"Not renewing subscriptions across all federal agencies will be a significant cost saving--hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars will be saved," White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham said in an email Thursday.

Axios reports: [the link goes to The Wall Street Journal.]
The White House plans to order all federal agencies not to renew their subscriptions to the New York Times and the Washington Post, two papers that President Trump has repeatedly attacked for their critical coverage of his administration, the Wall Street Journal reports.
The White House said on Tuesday that it would cancel its own subscriptions to the Post and the Times, after Trump complained that they were “fake” during an appearance this week on Fox News’ “Hannity.”
White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham said in an email to the Journal: “Not renewing subscriptions across all federal agencies will be a significant cost saving—hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars will be saved.”

Seems like a good time to re-up this impeachment detail from two days ago: "Senior White House officials said they have to follow news reports after the hearing to find out what was said in the private meetings." https://www.wsj.com/articles/white-house-battling-impeachment-looks-to-coordinate-with-hill-gop-11571779558 ...

(whether print or electronic like cable programming - and I know our agency had subs to all kinds of print media including newspapers and news magazines, as well as journals related to our regulated industry, plus we had a sat dish at our specific site for cable) then he may be in violation of misappropriation of funds.
Oddly enough, most of us, both in the field offices and HQ, tended to find out what the heck was going on within the agency through the media! 
The cherry-picking just makes it worse.
This is part of the issue behind the impeachment investigation and its focus on Ukraine, where he was fooling around with Congressionally-allocated money, and worse, engaging in extortion using those funds in exchange for "favors"! 
I.e., if he wants money "reprogrammed" he needs to notify Congress and get approval.
and decree FAUXSNOOSE all they can view?
oh, BIG BROTHER !

It looks like WaPo may have started doing this literally right when I retired in 2017. I have my own WaPo sub but now if you are a fed or in the military or a student, WaPo online is FREE.
(my agency had WaPo, NYT, WSJ, I think Barrons and some others and they had links from one of the agency webpages to go to them)
