Taklimakan offers a convenient display of news. I like that the flow of news for different languages is also selected separately. But I would like to clarify, if the site then switches to a subscription system, does this only apply to blogs, analytics, etc., or news, too?
I am also intrigued by this question, because I would not like to lose access to what I was used to. Hopefully, access to news will be open to all.
