That would disqualify a lot of the better quality sources and promote low quality clickbait.
I’d much prefer either a paywall bypass, such as archive, in the body or comments. Alternatively a copy of the full text / high quality summary needs to be provided.
The rules as provided would for instance disqualify reuters and several investigative journalist papers.
I also think posters who use a non standard source (ie not the well known reuters/ap/bbc/cnn/aljazeera etc) should mention in the text the reach and slant of the source.

I agree. I hate clicking on something only to find it’s behind a paywall but someone usually summarizes or provides the entire article in the comments. At least that way you have access to information coming out of those high quality subscription sources, instead of getting all our news off free sites with a clickbait title and 2 sentences with grammatical errors for the body.
