I actually knew a journalism professor who had started out writing for the Enquirer. Perhaps, that was why he is teaching instead of still writing. OTOH, he said that the Enquirer has the strictest libel standards in the business now because of the Carol Burnett lawsuit.

One time my husband and I saw a spot on 60 Minutes or some such show about
writers at the National Enquirer. Turns out many of them graduated from
excellent universities, and have journalism degrees. The National Enquirer
pays them very handsomely, though, because as they admit, once the writer
works there, he or she will have a pretty hard time finding work as a
journalist anywhere else.
