We have to remember a lot fo the news we get on these agregators is from these premium news outlets where the stories are produced by journalists. If they die then those stories either disappear all together or we resort to bloggers who are getting better but by no means are their stories the same as something like the WSJ.

That means premium content is at the absolute bottom of my list, because premium content is probably closer to 50/50. I don't need the commentary, just that sweet, sweet information. And, on top of that, I'm not nearly as interested by premium content when I can get <i>specialty</i> content from hobbyists for free. The DIY movement is hitting the web hard right now, and the advancement of technology will move DIY into every corner of our lives over the next decade. To me, newspapers are beyond obsolete.

However, the culture of free information has permeated the web to such an extent...that a pay per read model is going to lead to bankruptcy and failure. MSM just needs to make the best of it and act like a competent blogger would. Success can still be had, the m.o. is just different.
