I wish there were a way for me to pay directly for original reporting like this without having to pay for editorials.

  I'm pretty sure it's fair to say that the opinion pages are one of the cheaper aspects associated with a newspaper.

    That might be the case, but newspapers seem to devote an enormous amount of space to opinion. It's especially stark compared to my favored medium for local news: local news channels - which incidentally tend to be profitable.

      I don’t know the economics but I wouldn’t be surprised if OpEd pieces are low cost or free to produce. They’re basically advertising for the author and their ideas.

        Yet if I want to read the journalistic content of the Wall Street Journal, I have to pay them to put out noxious seditious propaganda and disinformation. No can do.
