Im supprised that you didnt really talk about it considering all of the adverts you have to the right of your content. Another way to make money that you have not mentioned is to provide an open platform for people to make money and then take a percentage. Like ebay or spread betting websites. Personally I think if news papers/ news sources wish to stay in business they need to start looking at ways they can deliver focused content to people in a manageable way. For example people like the WSJ/ FT know (...are about to find out) that selling the news isnt really going to work any more but by selling an app that can be purchased once allowing access for a year (not the same as an annual subscription) to specific information, industry specific and/or specific to a particular country or state i.e 'cutting out the chaff' would provide value to the customer at minimal cost to the vendor but still allow large numbers of people to have access to their website, which is what would keep interest in the brand going. their are other avenues for generating revenue but this is the first that comes to mind.
