FTX is a good example: one of the investigative journalists he interviewed alleged that Bloomberg (I think, could be misremembering) refused to publish his articles critical of FTX because FTX was buying a lot of ads on their platform.
There was also a journalist who uncovered substantial evidence linking the Royal Family and Jeffrey Epstein years ago. She was pressured to drop the story, in part because of potential financial and reputational repercussions to the place she was working.

A good news organization doing actual investigative journalism would have been able to get this story, if nothing else by following up tips such as these. A question which remains unanswered is: why didn't they? [1]: https://youtu.be/FDqhM7vHR2o?t=885 https://youtu.be/FDqhM7vHR2o?t=885
