Newspapers over the years have protected us from the unscrupulous. From Watergate to Vietnam to sex abuse etc. They needed skilled reporters able to work on a story for weeks even months and still get paid.
Once you reduce the ability to pay decent reporters for months to expose a scandal. The losers are the people.
Freedom of the press relies on a lucrative press. Stifle their ability and you keep them quieter.
