Paul Graham on Twitter: "Newspapers think "We're the WSJ (or the NYT or the FT or the Washington Post...). We'll make everyone subscribe." But the way it looks to readers is "Ugh, I have to subscribe individually to each newspaper? Not worth it."… https://t.co/GIUObMAs9H"

  So what’s your solution for smaller newspapers without the global base of readers?

  Isn’t @AppleNews+ exactly what you’re asking for? It even includes @wsj content… (but I do recognize not everyone has it)https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2019/03/apple-launches-apple-news-plus-an-immersive-magazine-and-news-reading-experience/ …

  I have subscriptions to all four because I consider quality investigative journalism to be essential to civil society and I can afford it. I’d much sooner cancel Netflix.

  The whole problem is there are multiple news outfits to subscribe too. Sure there are 4-5 NYT articles I want to read, but I can’t afford NYT, USA Today, NYJ, LAT, Chicago Tribune, etc....

  No one at the FT thinks “we’ll make everyone subscribe”. This is a bizarre take.

  Is anyone building the Netflix for news? License content and deliver access to all major publications with one subscription (that's easy to cancel ). Each channel could include written, TV/video, and pods/radio.
