Think of the poor buggy whip makers!

Not every desirable activity in life is profitable. If your business plan is "make website -> get money" then perhaps you're in the wrong business.

If you're going to treat investigative reporting and news gathering as a profit making venture then you can only charge what the market is willing to pay, and for the vast majority of people, that's nothing.
