I subscribe to my local newspaper and to several Substacks (obviously including this one)--that's how I pay for my news.
I believe News should be both. Information is too important. My 20s and 30s were too financially fraught to contribute, but now I subscribe to various long form items. There should be an obligation for those that can.
Pay for your news. No, forcing someone else to do that via the government, is not the same thing.
(I buy: Numlock, TheFP, BlazeMeeia, and the cable newses via TV subs…)
