Wow. So, journalism is equated to whatever is on television, right? Interesting. My brother, an award-winning reporter (yeah, I'm bragging!) with 16 years of experience, would argue otherwise. He's been doing investigative reporting for a while now and dong so, get this, in PRINT media. Maybe it isn't considered 'journalism', but he's respected just the same.
1. You're right there. The story my brother is getting an award for required many 14 hour days. And I B word the few times I have to work 10 hour days to bank up credit hours!
2. Varies. Depends on where you work, seniority, performance, etc.
3. I doubt that.
