Journalists are more educated, but working longer hours and feeling more pressure, both ethically and resource-wise, than they were only two years ago. Technological changes are felt acutely, particularly the use of social media and user-generated content.

This study also shows, for the first time, that women are seriously disadvantaged in pay and promotion despite making up the majority of the workforce. Despite these challenges, overall job satisfaction remains at similar levels to previous surveys, and journalists’ own commitment to ethical standards and journalism’s Fourth Estate role remains strong.  James HollingsFolker HanuschRavi BalasubramanianGeoff LealandAsia Pacific NetworkarticleattitudesemploymentethicsFourth EstategenderjournalistsCommunication.
