I'd like to see a "syndicate" system where I have an account, and micro-pay for each article I read in any newspaper that is part of the syndicate. At the end of the month, all my purchases are added up and charged to my credit card in one lump sum. The syndicate adds up all the articles read by all subscribers, and remits the total payment to each newspaper or other news source.
This replaces the onerous subscriptions I would have to maintain for each individual news source I wish to follow. I don't read enough New York Times to justify paying CAD $120/yr, but if fifty people like me consume $5 of articles per year, that's a win-win.
Newspapers will not be forced into this model until they are at death's door.
