Is being a private credit reporter underrated?

So I have a background in journalism, I have a year of experience being a news reporter and it's insane how high private credit reporters are being paid. Debtwire, Reorg, Levfin Insights, 9fin basically pay 90k+ base for private credit/levfin/buyside credit news reporters. I interviewed out of undergrad for one of these roles that paid 90-95 to college grads. Is this an underrated gig? Most major news sites will pay maybe 65-75 for a market reporter, Bloomberg and Factset typically pay 75-85k for similar roles, what is it about private credit specifically that warrants such high pay for entry-level journalists?
