April 18, 2003Research About "Typical" JournalistJust found this odd little piece of research on yahoo news. NEW ORLEANS -- The typical U.S. journalist is a 41-year-old white man who makes $43,600, has a college degree but didn't major in journalism, and is more likely to vote Democratic than Republican, according to "The American Journalist in the 21st Century." I believe the story came from Editor & Publisher but I can't seem to reach their site. But there is more "landmark research into the backgrounds of American journalists" from Indiana University. Funny, it seems that I don't know that many "typical" journalists. Posted by Jim at April 18, 2003 12:46 PMComments
heh, I fit the non-J-degree, the pathetic salary and the political tendencies but not the age and race. Nice to know there's one profession where everyone's equally poor. |
