I agree with you but the unsolved problem is the "... and make some kind of business out of it, if they can". Netflix is $10 a month and look at all the value you get there. News will have to be half or (maybe much) less than that. Can you build a good news product on $1/month? I'm not sure you can. Additionally, how do you make people actually want the news? A sound bite or tweet or headline is super easy to digest and doesn't take a lot of time and makes people feel like they are in the know. Just regurgitate any article title and you're an expert. On top of that is the click baiting for eyeballs (driven by ad money) removing at least the journalistic integrity of putting out information with some basis of fact. True news will always have some bias but we have to find a way for it to not be ad supported. The only way I see that happening is some kind of subscription or independently wealthy patron.
