[quote=Anonymous]I have a union job in journalism, so the salary is probably slightly higher than the norm. I make low six figures. I would think a senior editor could easily command that salary. The trouble is, you won't necessarily get the same as people with name recognition, unless you also have broad name recognition. Journalism is a dying industry so they are looking to cut corners anywhere they can. If you are in your 30s or 40s and have significant experience, I would think you could pull in at least $80K. I would honestly shoot for $95-100K if they really want you. Try to make them toss out a figure first. If they come back with something much lower, push for an extra 2 weeks of vacation or some other perk to make up for it. Congrats on actually getting a job in journalism - most of us are being pushed out the door by bean counters who want to cut costs (except their own salaries of course). [/quote]
