  Can’t imagine many news publications are offering competitive job offers.

    Well, it’s the price of not being dependent on billionaires.
    
    On the other hand, if the hundreds of thousands of subscribers go to a some publication (I’ve seen propublica recommended earlier in the comments, for instance) they will be able to pay a decent salary to a bunch of those journalists.
