You write "no matter what it costs" but the article points out they did have a limited budget.

Remember, journalism in that era was funded by advertisements and classified. Facebook, Google, Craigslist, etc. have sucked out a lot of that money.

Who pays the cost now?

If you want this sort of news, if you think it's important, help pay for it. Get a subscription to your local paper, for example. I send $35/month to Democracy Now.
