    A journalist is not a “random person”. It’s a profession like any other profession.

    A journalist doesn’t just “say something”. A journalist works, like any other worker does.

    So, to answer your question, I’d say it costs at least minimum wage.

      Well clearly expecting to be paid for doing shit that anyone anywhere does for free is the problem. What’s the point of the journalist?

        Wait, what do you think journalists do? Do you think that they wake up, get to their workplace and start typing away about whatever crosses their mind? In that case, I can understand your confusion.

        On the other hand, if you know what journalists actually do, I don’t understand what you’re saying. Or perhaps you think that reasearching information on a topic, interviewing people, going to your town hall to see what politicians are up to, go to warzones and report about what’s happening, are tasks that “anyone anywhere does for free”?
