I would pay for ... Hacker News. The value of journalism is so often negative (with writers removing facts from the original scientific paper and adding a deceptive title), the only real value in my online parkour is a hundred comments from Hackers News. Ten of them will add facts, dozens will bring various point of views for/against the essay, one will really put the story into perspective.
I wouldn't know how to monetize HN without disturbing the savvy balance of profiles and the quality of comments, but to this day HN is the one journalism work that adds value to my life.
