I have noticed in the anglosphere that a significant percentage of mainstream reporters and journalists are what used to be called “independently wealthy”.

I guess it’s always been that way, but I think it’s more so now

Any job that someone could be passionate about, like a journalist, is exploitable because people will put up with a lot of bullshit for thier dream. So you make shit money with brutal hours and expectations in an unaffordable city. The only people who can handle that are the ones' who's parents can support them.
