Commercial driven news is the preferred business model. The problem with using it is the enormous initial costs involved in production. With the ad revenue coming after the production and publication. Once there is a base of subscribers to support the initial production I believe that there will be a place for overlapping content driven by ad revenue.

Just a note. I do not subscribe to anything until I see something that can’t be had otherwise. Time sensitive information is one of those things I do subscribe.
