i agree with maxi, i really won't pay a buck for general news content because substitutes are published everywhere for free.

I know that in some countries, they introduced another revenue sharing model back in 1997, aggregates contents from more than thousands of contracted magazines and newspapers every day, and sell this database to people in relevant industries. As far as i remember, the subscription was more than US$500-800 a month for a few simultaneous login access. All newspapers, government depts, listed companies, financial institution , PR companies need this stuff. Is there similar aggregation service in other countries?
