No journalism is “free” and yet it is critically important. This is the paradox we, as writers, face. I am encouraged by the idea that some parts of our work product can be offered for free while the deeper stuff can be offered by subscription. I am a subscriber to The NY Times and Washington Post, but those publications would let me read a few free articles per month without subscribing. That system also works.

Plus, the readers aren’t getting journalism for free. They are paying with their data.
