I would like to add that while all of us journalists and bloggers are discusiing news business and its future for a while now, there are only a few people doing anything about it. But I guess I am digressing here. On a related note, we have been working on a comprehensive guide for online journalists at Bighow. As a part, we have put up a list of 14 news business models. Hope that is useful for your readers. http://bighow.com/poll/Which-among-these-is-the-best-news-business-model- Interesting article.

Case in point: NPR's "On the Media" had a story this week about <a href="http://www.onthemedia.org/transcripts/2009/02/20/04" rel="nofollow">Kachingle</a>, a new service that lets users pay for content they like.

The On the Media transcript won't be up until Monday. Here's the tease: <blockquote cite="http://www.onthemedia.org/transcripts/2009/02/20/04">"Kachingle, an online service that will launch next month, offers yet another possible solution: encourage online readers to voluntarily contribute to newspapers and other websites they like. Kachingle CEO and founder Cynthia Typaldos explains why she thinks people will pay for content they can get for free."</blockquote> I think we’re going to see a variety of ways to pay for journalism online.
