Newsstand sales wouldn't get them much; people pay cash.
Subscriber lists -- hmm. Newspapers, for all they want to find out everything about others, are not happy when someone wants to find out about them. Also, the subscriber list is just that: Iread Thisrag, 222 Some Street, City, State, Zip. It's not the payment records; that's accounts receivable, which is separate. I think a newspaper might do better at distinguishing personal info from payment records than online sources can.
