I’m applying for an assistant producers/news writer position and i’m curious about the starting salary? what should i expect? i’m applying to work at a station in a smaller market. They are an abc affiliate in the CT/NY area? I have 2 internships behind me and 3 yrs wokring as a production assistant so i do have a decent amount of experince and the right degrees from the right schools etc … i just do not want to be low balled in the salary negotiation process,
Hi Miacrash,
Good luck on getting the job. I just landed a similar job as a news editor at a radio station in California. If I were you, I’d shoot for $32,000. Here’s a pretty good article on journalism salaries: http://www.collegejournal.com/salarydata/journalism/
