Ideally, "willing to". I'd like to see a cultural shift where everyone sees the value of broadcast media and news, and those who have the means feel it's their responsibility to contribute in order to further the development and sharing of knowledge and culture.
I hate to compare it to open source software (because I don't think we've really settled on an ideal and universally appealing method of funding); but currently depending on the license, open source software is generally freely enjoyable by all and funded by those individuals and corporations who can and wish to do so.
Humble Bundle is another great example. Everyone pays - those with little (money or will to pay) can pay £0.01, those with more can and do pay much more, effectively becoming patrons.
Edit: Humble Bundle is another great example (just to highlight that while not open source, their funding model is innovative and objectively quite successful).
