I suspect most of the others would be better just posting teaser material on the web and trying to make the rest up in the paper edition.

The Houston Chronicle has a similar dual system. The print newspaper is online but paywalled: houstonchronicle.com the "chron.com" version is mostly buzzfeedish fluff that's free.
