What if there is literally no profitable model for digital news? Or none that actually scales and endures without, say, the established readership base and brand of the NYT. This seems...increasingly likely to me?

The profitable model: * Bundle many news providers into single subscription service. * Allocate revenues based on readership * Providers specialize content within bundle to eliminate duplication. i.e. use "cable TV model" or what http://medium.com does...
Additionally, news providers should: * Offer seminars, talks, books, etc. for addl revenue * Offer in-depth "professional" coverage of issues relevant to specific geographies or professions. (i.e. Compete with high-priced "newsletters" as 2nd revenue stream)
