Great journalists are getting laid off all the time these days. You could find any number of professional and highly accomplished journalists for a tiny fraction of $800k per year.
If you have any references for good ones, please send them to me! I think this kind of job is quite hard and many (my guess is most) journalists would not live up to a standard that I think would be acceptable in this kind of job, but I do think there are some, and I would love to talk to them about this.
I don’t have personal references, but a ton of great journalists have gotten laid off in 2023, and they never were paid that much in the first place (not being TV or celebrity journalists).
