If memory serves, there has been much consternation about The Correspondent, which apparently has launched. They want me to be a member to read their content but don’t provide much in a way for me to determine the quality of the content.
@frankm Looks like they're currently using a weekly newsletter for that. I'm pretty sure they were making entire articles public at one point since they launched the crowdfunding campaign but it looks like that's not happening at the moment.
From what I've seen they appear to be trying different methods at different times, which I can understand coming from a paid-based publication specifically within the context of the volatile business ecosystem for news publications.
