Journalists, as well as "journalists", are going to get paid one way or another. If it's not subscriptions or ad revenue, it'll be in some other form.

Says who?

Lots of journalists have been laid off in the past decade because of media consolidation -- some of them found other jobs or went independent, but most had to find another field because _the money isn't there_.

The media companies will get paid one way or another, but the companies are not journalists.
