I worked in the industry for 10 years... reporters don't make shite. There is a reason many journalists and reporters you see on the news are attractive women, its because you can't pay the bills with the salary they make so they marry rich guys who can foot the bills so the reporting job is just side income.
Seriously our reporters in San Diego made $45k a year... that is poverty in San Diego. How can you make it? You can't, so you better hope you can find a guy to marry to foot the bill.
The reporters at the station I worked at in Louisville made $35k and the station in Cedar Rapids they made $22k.
It's a highly competitive field so the lowest bidder gets the job.

Yep. Everyone wants good reporting, but no one wants to pay for it.
Reports might look desperate for the digital tip jar, but it's trashy to bitch about paywalls.
I have certainly changed my opinion on this. News articles and such aren't free to produce, we need to reevaluate how we consume the info.
