The distant rumble seems to indicate paywalls of some kind will start to appear soon, unless somebody comes up with a magic money making solution, so finding a path to a mixture of free and premium content makes some sense for some publishers
Not sure about the numbers, but technically only a few paying customers would bring in a noticeable revenue stream

Focus on adapting ad sales departments for the internet age and the measurability and interactivity that that offers. Don’t just sell internet ads – sell the internet to advertisers; because if you don’t, a competitor will.
Be as transparent as possible about everything that they do, linking to sources of information and publishing them in their unedited form if they’re not already online. This creates material for others to work with, leading to more stories, and more people clicking back to the material, not to mention the goodwill that can help drive more leads and more sales.

"In any other industry, charging customers would not be a radical idea. Even companies such as Skype and Flickr use a “freemium” pricing strategy of giving away services to casual users and charging customers who use them intensively.

Today, as a brand, the Sydney Morning Herald’s footprint has never been larger: each day, it reaches 2.2m readers.
Among them :
- only 19% look at the paper and the website
- 39% stick to the paper only
- 42% are exclusively online consumers.
And Fairfax Digital’s media director Pippa Leary says the web enjoys a more qualified audience: younger, with a higher income.
"4. Location-Based News Consumption
In 2010, we saw the growth of location-based services like Foursquare, Gowalla and SCVNGR. Even Facebook entered the location game by launching its Places product, and Google introduced HotPot, a recommendation engine for places and began testing it in Portland. The reality is that only 4% of online adults use such services on the go. My guess is that as the information users get on-the-go info from such services, they’ll becomes more valuable and these location-based platforms will attract more users.
Part of the missing piece is being able to easily get geo-tagged news content and information based on your GPS location. In 2011, with a continued shift toward mobile news consumption, we’re going to see news organizations implement location-based news features into their mobile apps. And of course if they do not, a startup will enter the market to create a solution to this problem or the likes of Foursquare or another company will begin to pull in geo-tagged content associated with locations as users check in."

Pipes is amazing. It is a visual way to mix and match information from the Web.
