Linux Weekly News - something needs to change

I've seen some nice articles in LWN, but I'm not interested in Linux news per se. I'd suggest they drop the subscription model and narrow the focus, or move on to other things.

It's not just LWN that needs to change; the big question is how do writers get paid when 'information' is free?

Of course nothing is really free, there's always a cost somewhere. Maybe we the audience need to make a change and help support the writers and programmers who supply us with info and code that we like. You're not 25 (http://tomatonation.com/?p=838) anymore, right? Or maybe you are.

I thought to post this here for two reasons. Firstly, I'm sure many here frequently enjoy LWN's excellent writing. Also, perhaps people have some ideas about what sort of business model might allow LWN to keep going and to grow stronger in the future?
