Via Cyberjournalist.net comes news of the annual media salary survey conducted by UGa's mass-comm school.
Median salaries ranked as follows:
Online publishing: $32,000
Cable TV: $30,000
Consumer magazines: $27,000
Daily newspapers: $26,000
Weekly newspapers: $24,000
TV: $23,492
Radio: $23,000
You combine those print salary figures -- "median," remember, means half of those surveyed make more and half make even less -- with Jay Rosen's new elegy, "Things I Used to Teach That I No Longer Believe ... " and you start to wonder why anyone would even go into this bidness in the first place.
I can answer that question, of course, but I'm curious as to what you think.
