Can we uplift quality journalism that is also not filled with bought and paid for journalists and media.

The problem is that even completely independent journalists that take no ad revenue run into the issue of being captured by their audience.

If an independent journalist doesn’t have a diverse audience, then anything that doesn’t confirm that non-diverse audience’s biases will face backlash, essentially repeating the issue of journalist’s leaning on their careers instead of truth, but the enforcement mechanism is based around viewership/donation numbers and not corporate money.
