SABEW survey: Business journalists, what do you earn?
The Society of American Business Editors and Writers is conducting its second annual confidential survey of business journalists throughout the country to determine the pay for business reporters and editors in various positions.
The 2010 informal survey, which received nearly 400 responses, discovered that business journalists in the United States make a median salary of $65,000 to $70,000.

The compensation information you provide for the salary survey will remain strictly confidential. None of the information provided by any business journalist will be available to anyone else.
The results of the survey will be made available to all SABEW members by the end of September, and the data will be updated annually to determine whether pay for business journalists is rising or falling, by how much, and what positions are seeing the biggest changes in compensation.
To do that, we need your help. Please click on the link above. Answering the questions will take less than a minute, but will provide valuable data for business journalists such as yourselves.
Survey results will be analyzed by SABEW’s research director, Chris Roush, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, Walter E. Hussman Distinguished Scholar in Business Journalism. For questions about the survey, e-mail Roush at croush@email.unc.edu.
