Ed - thanks for posting.
The sad reality is that investigative journalism does not pay a living wage. It does not put food on the table or pay for a bed to sleep in.
Investigative journalists either need patronage - with all the risks that such a relationship implies.
Or a non-journalistic job which pays the unavoidable bills whilst leaving enough time and energy for the investigative journalist to crack the story.
It's not a healthy situation.
