Serious question: How do we expect reporters and journalists to be funded if nobody pays?

I'm reading a book about the Watergate scandal, "All the president's men", and one thing I keep wondering is how these journalists would get paid today in the absence of newspaper revenue.

Paywalls are annoying but good journalism isn't free...

Exactly. Why this is such a difficult concept to grasp? They create a product, set a price, you choose to subscribe or not. If you created licensed software and someone pirated it, are you agreeable to that?

Piracy is the reality of life. You can't really "turn if off", so as a company you have to plan with that in mind.

Bringing up morality or whatever is a complete non sequitur.
