Newstand subscriptions and family sharing

Does anyone know how to use newsstand subscriptions with family sharing? The family member can see the free magazine app in my list of purchased apps. But, once downloaded and in the magazine app how do you share your subscription.

I would imagine that subscriptions work the same as "in-app" purchases which are not "shareable".

Re: Newstand subscriptions and family sharing

"With Family Sharing, one adult in the family—the family organizer—agrees to pay for any iTunes, iBooks, and App Store purchases that other family members initiate while they're part of the family group. This also includes ongoing subscription purchases initiated by family members, such as iCloud storage, iTunes Match, and Newsstand subscriptions."

So I'm then assuming a family member can purchase subscriptions but not shared?

What happens if a Family member takes out an iCloud Storage Subscription before being added to Family sharing, will the Organizer get billed for the Family Members subscription or will the Family member still get billed for it?
