That's the idea of a subscription model: you'd pay about the same as now (or, let's say, 10 years ago). But you get to read whatever you want because it doesn't cost anything to give you the extra content, knowing that you wouldn't pay for it anyway. Everybody wins: readers get more diversity, publishers stand to actually increase revenue because it's a much better offer than in the past and could attract more readers and the society profits when people are better informed. It won't be at <price of newspaper>/<articles per issue> because nobody reads every single article. There's also the slight complication that newspapers used to get about half their revenue from ads and classifieds and that's pretty much gone. We should find out in the next decade if there's an econmic model for journalism. If it turns out that there isn't, and if some sort of disruption hits TV as well... It's at least going to be interesting.
