It's not football related, but applies to the football media.

It doesn't hurt to spare a thought for journalists - everybody says they want greater quality, yet high quality journalism is now something that people won't pay for. So people can't put in the time and effort required to do it, as they need to make a living.

(BTW, this is about journalism, not media).

no one ever paid for it. people paid to advertise classifieds and that subsidised it
