I honestly giggled a bit when I read this. I think your heart is in the right place but adding another level of "Middle Men" to take a share of the money probably isn't going to solve things.
What might work is a "middle-man" between publishers offering a multi-pulbisher subscription system similar to what cable television providers currently do, though that model seems to be dying too (think cord cutters) and really doesn't solve the crisis either but might be a buisness opportunity.
Personally I think what has happened to journalists and is currently happening to television personalities is the elimination of a class of people(for good or bad the 4th estate is not as valuable in a connected world), the other night I watched SNL attempt to create their show with clips from the staff at home, and compared to what I already watch on Youtube it was OK at best.
Is it possible journalists have just had it too good for too long? Similar but to a leser extent to how the music record industry had it Pre-Napster?
