I often wonder how news websites are supposed to survive. People (myself included) want unbiased news websites without paywalls and ads.

How are they supposed to pay their staff?

The news sites that we have today are an inversion of what they should be. As a journalist, you wield tremendous power that is entrusted to you. Being able to set the narrative for millions of others is a privilege and, in fact, something that journalists should be paying to enjoy (e.g. footing the bill for web hosting).

I don't agree with this take that people should pay to work. Journalist have family to feed as well.
