BuzzFeed News launches a paid membership program (and yes, there's a tote bag)

BuzzFeed News is giving readers a new way to support its journalism — by paying a monthly or yearly fee. BuzzFeed might not seem like the most obvious publication to ask readers for financial support, as it doesn't really have the high-minded appeal of (say) NPR or The New Yorker. In fact, it launched a separate website for BuzzFeed News a few months ago.
