I don’t know what you want papers like the New York Times to do. No one ever had the expectation that newspapers should provide their services for free until the advent of the internet. Newspapers have always supported themselves by a combination of people paying for them, either by subscription or buying individual papers and by selling advertising. Newspapers are dying right and left these days because of competition from the internet and television. Unless newspapers find a way to survive they will all be gone not too far in the future and that may very well spell the end of professional journalism. We will all then be at the mercy of bloggers, some with dubious or no professional credentials at all, and cable news channels. Any service has to support itself somehow. Either by selling advertising, by charging for their services or by some combination of the two. What other options do they have?
