Think of it this way - people are already paying to read news - in the form of newspaper, magazine subscription fees, TV subscription fees, etc. With these sources already available, I doubt whether they would pay for internet news as a medium of news delivery. It has to be done right or the business model wont work.
I would pay for NOT to see their news; with youtube/internet there is YoungTurks and a few others indepent news free of charge.
Unless they stop other people to republish same news I don't think people are going to pay for reading news over internet.
