I'm assuming you're talking about periodicals and blogs? I always figured most of the cost for that was providing them to you without ads. After all, content that's "free" on a website isn't quite free. You're renting a bit of your attention to the owners for them to resell to advertisers. Personally, I'd like the option to get them for free (or for a small delivery charge) with the ads.
