Grant free access to your news indefinitely. Other news apps have advertising to pay for what they post! I know you're not the Deseret News, but you're actually chasing customers off. Incentive to buy can be access to interviews, special content, or advertisement-free news. This could open a lot of revenue and not cut poor people-who can only barely pay their smartphone bill-out of the loop.
