Aggressive ads won't do them any good. I use Ad Muncher, which I warmly recommend. It's well worth the small shareware fee. It blocks popups, popunders, and almost all banner ads as well. As a result I save a ton of time loading pages with ads on them.
A few newspapers like the Wall Street Journal can successfully sell web subscriptions. The rest of them are going to continue fading away whether or not they continue to offer free web access.
The Columbia Journalism School is world headquarters for liberal journalists. They have a vested interest in CONTROLLING the news and protecting their cozy little franchise. Sorry, guys, the news is about to slip out of your control.

It's not the AP-wire news that will be lost, it is the op/eds and think-tank analysis pieces that put the raw news into perspective which will be sorely missed.
