I recently spoke to a reporter from one of three major newspaper in Israel. I asked her how much investigative journalism they do? She said almost none. The smallest of the 3 papers does a little. The other two do basically none. A little means a lot less than they do of everything else, of course. So maybe 5% of the combined expenditure for the newspaper industry is probably a generous estimate. It could be <1% I guess. Most of what journalism does is reporting, commentary, discussion and analysis. Primary, investigative journalism is a relatively small thing.
