I don't think I would, currently don't pay for any news subscriptions. As someone, mentioned it's free. Which is interesting because even though I can get my TV shows and movies for free online I do pay for it with a subscription to Netflix and Hulu.

Maybe the difference is that I see news as temporary. Once I read it I want newer information, not really to go back to old news. Certain long form articles I bookmark but I find I rarely even go back to those. With TV Shows and Movies I can always go back and get some enjoyment from re-watching. Maybe the news doesn't have that lasting value that I feel justifies spending that I do for other forms of medium of information such as books.

I think for me to pay for news it has to not be easily reproduced by someone else. You just can't easily make a similar hit sitcom or breaking bad as can others retell what is happening in the world. Though I do want my news to be written and told by professional objective individuals I haven't been able to find a model that gets me to pay yet.

EDITs for grammar.
