Sure and that's why they do it, but it's feels like cutting off your nose to spite your face.

I think the future will mostly be the best writers being directly supported by people interested in their beat.

I'm not sure how generic media orgs will continue on, but I'd expect the quality to continue to degrade.

Interesting idea. What do you imagine would happen to the global health correspondent when there's not a pandemic going on, or the war correspondent when there's not a war going on?
