Where are the investigative journalists? Are they gone due to governments imprisoning and killing them so aggressively the past 15-20 years?

Or is the craft dying off as traditional media declines at the hands of social media?

I’d like to say I hope they’re not caught up in the decline of traditional media, but the former is just so, so much worse.

Profit models killed them. It is money and time intensive work and modern "news" outlets care more about volume and quick turnaround for clicks rather than one quality piece.

It still exists but you are going to have to look for independent journalists and nonprofit outlets like Propublica. Not going to find it in corporate news.
