Insider Info

Jennifer Pozner is the director of the women's desk at Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR), a media watch group of journalists and activists. She says the surge of new media watch groups around the country is promising. However, many of these organizations are nonprofit, which means employees won't make huge financial gains.

"We prize the work," she says. "It's about the work. So if we paid ourselves at high levels, we would individually make more money [but] we'd do less work because the organization wouldn't have enough money to do the work, to publish the magazine and produce the radio show."

Pozer thinks that opportunities will be opening up. "There are way more media criticism groups now than there were in the past. There are a lot of stand-alone organizations who do other things -- who do activism in some way or another, who have started to understand the need for media criticism. There are also grassroots groups and lots of local media groups that monitor the press on their own."

Earnings and employment information from the U.S. Department of Labor is not available for this field at this time.
