So what you’re saying is there is no model besides complete subsidy for news to exist?

It would be impossible for them to you know build a subscription model where you get access to all of their news sites for one fee? Kinda like credit unions do with their ATM networks.

Perhaps offering better value to consumers and incentivize upsells rather than demote them. As someone who had a paper version of the economist they tried /real/ hard to convert me to digital only. Which is a far worse value proposition.
