I hope that those "reliable journalistic sources can only afford to continue these days with direct monetary support from readers.

I agree in general, in fact, I pay for some of them. What I hope will happen is that, at some point, individuals will figure out how to form a consolidated "news" source for a single yearly fee.

I will not give out my credit card information to dozens of these individual sources.

PayPal is an alternative, but it has some problems too. For example, if I buy a specific piece of PhotoEditing software, with PayPal, it is nearly impossible to figure out what the interim XyzAbc company is really for my PhotoEditing software, and I have paid just $100.00 for my subsequent yearly fee.
