The only ones who "deserve" to be paid are the news agencies like Reuters, AFP, DPA. They are actually doing the work. Those I would pay as a reader.

If a newspaper offers some exclusive investigative article, this may be added as payable content to an otherwise free site.

It's Murdoch's decision. Time(s) will tell if it works out. Murdoch tried payment methods before, didn't work. Murdoch tried ads revenue. Did work to some extend. He tries payment methods again now. He simply has no long-term strategy.
