It's clear that there is one problem that the article is trying to solve. The irony, of course, is that it is not a problem for newspapers, it's a problem for the author of the article. The author wants to read articles they don't have access to, and they don't want to pay what publishers are charging. That's the problem. Newspapers regularly create things worth reading. People want to read those things. They don't want to pay what the newspapers are charging. So, they suggest a solution: "Give it to me for cheap!" Sorry, but suggesting difficult and complex business models (with very low prices) does not help newspapers.
