They are so successful in the journalism community, they could probably start patreon for journalists and get some good press for doing it.

Another route could be to start a newsletter platform since paid newsletters are getting so big.

They are the source for a lot of journalism..

A bit of focus on exclusives.. pay for them, vet the story and the person reporting, journalists would fall over themselves to subscribe to that.

Or maybe I read too much bbc

Substack and it’s perverse companion OnlyFans are good examples of this. Both are growing enormously right now as I imagine a lot of unemployed people are looking to monetize themselves directly.
