I would also more than happily pay for hacker news, but since it's free and user submitted I think it is a different case.
Perhaps there should be a general news site where the users submit the news articles themselves, it would probably be faster than the ACTUAL news companies who have to send out a reported, as opposed to a civilian on the streets witnessing it happen.
(Of course, then the news corporations would leech off the site.)
