Title: Journalist / PR Pay...
Post by Administrator on Aug 16^th, 2014, 7:12am

The Huffington Post compares (American) PR consultant and Journalist pay-scales.

It compares 2004 to 2013.

The report is here.

It also observes:-

"As the pay gap continues to grow, journalists are also becoming increasingly outnumbered by those in public relations. In 2013, there were 4.6 public relations specialists for every one reporter in the US. And to keep the grim news coming, the number of working journalists in America today is much less than it was ten years ago, dropping by nearly 20,000 reporters in only six years."
