> there is still a question of how one would support quality investigative journalism and someone to hold the powers that be accountable

I don't think there is: You pay for it, since it's in your best interests to. I'd pay for that. Unfortunately, in my country, there aren't any outlets like that that I know of, everything is government propaganda.

You mind namedropping the country? It seems like the common setup is pro-elite but pro or anti government seems like a tossup.

It's Greece, but you're right, government is pretty much the elites.

In Romania we have YouTube channels that do only investigative reporting and people fund them through YouTube membership, super tips and Patreon. Can look up recorder Romania if you are curious
