The problem with charging for the site is that people will go elsewhere for their news, where they don't have to pay for it--local blogs and things like that. The New York Times tried this with their columnists a couple of years ago and the experiment failed miserably. I know it's something that other papers are considering experimenting with but, well, see above re: going to other, free sites. It's really a problem
