Since when is access to news a human right?
But you have always needed to pay for news, well before the internet, either directly or indirectly

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) was created on December 10th, 1948.
Here’s a link related to Article 19 (the right to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers):

And while you do have a point when it comes to pay for the news, i think there’s a clear distinction between paying for a paper newsletter or magazine (and also paying for Cable TV news why not), and having to pay for a small, individual article, no more than 2 pages long. (Because let’s be real, so far there are no news websites worth a paid subscription so far).

It also describes a right to own property but I don’t think that anyone would argue that you should receive that property for free.
