What I wish more newspaper did is to allow one to pay for a single article (whose price could depend on the length/depth of the article).

  These things are newspapers; you used to be able to buy one down at the corner for a buck. So just make it so you can Apple Pay your way to a day's access to the current news for a buck. Once someone has done it two or three times, offer a subscription to them.

    This. As someone living in Japan, I would love an option to drop a dollar to read the economist or such for a day. I rarely subscribe as, between work and a new son, rarely have time to keep up to date on a particular site, and the background stress of paying for something I'm not using is frustrating.

        That is a very good point :-)
