I'm not the type to cling to dying business models, but I actually would consider paying a little money to get in-depth quality analysis of current events or topics I find interesting, just like I'd be willing to spend money on a good book. It's not a necessity and I would treat it as a luxury, but I do believe there is a niche market demand for that kind of content. The current advertising based model of distribution seems like a race for the most eyeballs and consequently a race to the bottom.
