News is free on the web and free as an app. You are not making a distinction. I paid nothing for my NPR and BBC apps.

The BBC is fully funded by the government (i.e. the taxpayer). NPR claims they are minimally funded by the government but sure does fight hard to keep that supposed 2%. But the main point is that someone else had to pay for what you espouse as free.

About a quarter of its revenue comes from BBC Worldwide selling BBC content to markets outside the UK.
