I don't want to comment on entitlement because we're not all in the same place financially.
However it IS important to support good journalism and some nicer models are funding through taxes (public broadcasters) or subscriptions. Subscriptions aren't necessarily individual, and some are for through local libraries and universities.
Good journalism costs money, and it's one of the only things that give us a fighting chance towards fixing the problems around us. If news agencies run out of funding, then they switch to other models, or worse they get sold to some corporation and the coverage is controlled.
What you can do, depending on where you are in life:
Piracy / filter blockers will be around, so if all else fails just read the stories to learn and grow as a person. You can contribute and advocate someday
