>But who does general news benefit? How do we get them to pay?

NYTimes Revenue - $2.9B Daily Mail Group - £1.1Bn

Getting them/advertisers to pay isn't a problem!

Don't know what it's like where you are, but most people nowadays are not so interested in reading a 'newspaper'. It's all online/tv/radio/podcast

Even the local freely distributed papers are hardly read (unless placed near to a train station or similar so someone about to have 30 mins on a train may pick it up).

		They have a pretty broad definition of "newspaper" -- it can be a digital outlet.
