Firstly, I'd be interested to read your other post, could you please provide a link? As for the questions you raise, I believe that some were answered by my partner Eric on broken toys: http://tinyurl.com/4fov42 Mainly- unlike a traditional published "title", PtN is a live and dynamic platform that was just born. Our business model and future focus is around our content creation tool. Right now, it allows us and our media partners to publish polished experiences on a daily basis. By adding partners as we go, ideally from diverse areas of expertise, we can enrich PtN with content and multiple perspectives. And as we establish this fresh media format, we definitely plan to open it up even more for civic journalism and crowd sourcing. So, more to come, and I am glad that you see the potential of this new way to follow and interact with the news.
