The growing pay gap between journalism and public relations | Pew Research Center

The growing pay gap between journalism and public relations | Pew Research Center | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

After years of grim news for the news industry marked by seemingly endless rounds of staff cutbacks, it’s not unusual for those thinking about a career in journalism or veterans trying to find a new job to look at options in related fields. One field outpacing journalism both in sheer numbers and in salary growth is public relations.


The salary gap between public relations specialists and news reporters has widened over the past decade – to almost $20,000 a year, according to 2013 U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data analyzed by the Pew Research Center. At the same time, the public relations field has expanded to a degree that these specialists now outnumber reporters by nearly 5 to 1 (BLS data include part-time and full-time employees, but not self-employed.)...

Interesting stats, job growth for PR and substantial job losses for reporters between 2004 and 2013.

Internet-Media Employment Fuels Digital Job Growth | Media - Advertising Age

Internet-Media Employment Fuels Digital Job Growth | Media - Advertising Age | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it
u.s. internet-media employment is now second only to newspapers.

 

When it comes to jobs, internet-media businesses are the new mainstream media.


Internet media this year became the media industry's second-largest employment sector, according to Ad Age DataCenter's analysis of Bureau of Labor stats data.


One in six people employed in the U.S. media industry now work for internet-media businesses, according to Ad Age's analysis.
Employment at U.S. internet-media businesses in July passed staffing in broadcast TV. Internet-media employment earlier passed magazines, radio and cable TV.

 

The only U.S. media sector with more employees: newspapers. But papers over the past 12 months have cut an average of 1,400 jobs a month while internet-media businesses have added an average 400 jobs a month....

Are you too smart to work in PR?

Are you too smart to work in PR? | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it
“For decades a stream of bright young men and women, most of them with college degrees ranging from B.S. to Ph.D., have been coming to my office to ask me and my wife how to enter the profession ...

 

It seems there was real encouragement for those with intellectual capability to work in public relations. Indeed, Bernays saw public relations practitioners as a bridge between thinkers and doers.
