Do you think that news is important? Then he is referring to news.
Do you think academic publications are important? Then he is referring to academic publications.
Of course most news and most academic publications are not important so are not covered, please monetize them as much as you want. But the important stuff should be open. I think that is his argument.
Example: Someone writes a very good article on climate change which could sway many ignorant persons. If it was behind a paywall then you ensure that only those who already believes in climate change will bother to pay for it and read it making the entire article mostly worthless to the world.
