Golden Age of Journalism?

While employment in newspaper publishing (26%), magazines (16%) and radio and TV (11%) are down for the past three years, journalists employed is up 19%. The article by Michael Mandel ("Mandel on Innovation and Growth") says reporters are doing well -- not so much editors.

The probable causes: Self-employment, non-traditional industries (Internet plays a major role) and lower pay.

Concludes Mandel: "So . . . a Golden Age of Journalism . . . it may not pay as much, but it’s going to be a heck of a lot of fun!"
