This is an interesting idea on how to make effective journalism relevant again.

I like that idea.
You subscribe to a subscription level (let's say local, national, worldwide). Say, the Local is $10/month for X amount of articles per day from the local paper (SL Tribune). Or Unlimited access for $20/month.
Then the national gives you access to 10 articles per day from the local rag, and 5 articles per day from any newspaper out of your "local" newspaper area for $15/month. Or $30/month for unlimited.
Same for worldwide. The local paper would keep the local subscription (so, the SL Tribune would their $10 or $20). Then excess would go into a pot and be distributed to the other papers either based on clicks or have the papers come in and negotiate rates.
If the LA Times had 14% of the "national" clicks, then they get 14% of the pot.
Seems like an easy thing to do.
