Depends on the nature of the work. Remote worker/digital nomad? Practically unenforced. But working any job that's physically in the country (and would otherwise employ locals) is usually a pretty big deal.
Journalism I would expect to be an entirely different matter since it's usually a separate visa category, and in some countries is more about regulating and monitoring media than immigration.
