That makes sense for local or national news sources. I personally subscribe to the online editions of four newspapers plus several magazines. I am happy to pay for journalism. But it makes no sense for me to subscribe to, say, the Chicago Whatsit or the Omaha Whatever just to read the rare story someone posts a link to. There's no clear way for me to pay them for the value I'd get.
