One unobtrusive ad in the middle of an article isn't going to pay for a journalist and their camera person in a war zone.

By "news should be free" I think you probably mean "taxpayer funded".

Good journalists don't aspire to become wealthy. I meant what I wrote. The cost to fetch the article off a server and display it on my screen is too cheap to measure. A few ads will cover it.
