There's no reason why a publication can't charge more for an in-depth piece. I'd gladly pay far more for a comprehensive exposé.

- matmann2001 8y agoHow will you know it's a comprehensive exposé? How will you evaluate whether an article is going to be worth the price?

I mean, it couldn't be that hard to distinguish comprehensive articles vs the norm. > How will you evaluate whether an article is going to be worth the price? I wouldn't know. And if it wasn't worth it, I probably wouldn't purchase a future piece from the same reporter. That said, there could be a review system. (Just brainstorming here)
- vorpalhex 8y agoThis model already exists with those damned "click here to continue reading buttons". Just charge me a few pennies when I click that button and we're good. Give me a little browser based wallet that I can re-up with my "news" budget on a regular basis and I'm a happy paying customer. Charge me $30/month to read your site at all (bloomberg) and you're never making a cent off of me again.
