> Maybe the future of news survival is to pair it with a company that makes money, to support the journalism To be honest, that's the past and present of most news as well. Newspapers would have never been around based on advertising alone. The fee usually paid for printing and sending, and classifieds made up the bulk of the revenue. Now that they're decoupled and both news and classifieds are pretty much free, it's no wonder that news is struggling. Hard news has (almost) never been a wildly profitable endeavor in and of itself.
