The problem with journalism is everyone <i>wants</i> it but hardly anyone will <i>pay</i> for it unless it directly helps them in some way.<p>So Bloomberg and the FT (trade press) have a business model, the BBC has the license fee so doesn&#x27;t <i>need</i> a business model, and everyone else will go bankrupt slowly – note that none of the other para-news apps which were fashionable a while ago (Circa, Feedly, Google Reader, etc...) have come anywhere close to being financially valuable.
