NEWS AND OPINION:
Now this is a feat: The Pew Research Center managed to survey 11,889 U.S.-based journalists in a hefty online poll to find the press awash with mixed feelings and revelations as well.
The pollster titled its analysis, which was released Tuesday, as “Journalists Sense Turmoil in Their Industry Amid Continued Passion for Their Work.”
“Seven-in-ten journalists say they are very or somewhat satisfied with their job, and 77% say they would pursue a career in journalism again. At the same time, when asked to describe their industry in a single word, nearly three-quarters of respondents (72%) use a word with negative connotations; the most common are words that relate to ‘struggling’ and ‘chaos’,” the pollster noted in its thorough analysis of their survey.
