It is difficult to say what average journalism salaries would be because journalism covers so many different areas. There are journalism teachers in public schools whose salaries would be commensurate with experience and the guidelines of the particular school system. Journalism professors of course would command higher salaries due to their education and role in training budding journalists.
. There are news paper journalists who tend to be paid on the lower end of the scale, and television news anchors who command salaries in the six to seven figure range. Public relations and advertising are also concentrations under the journalism umbrella, as well as photo journalism and graphic design. The average salary depends largely on the geographic location of the position with urban areas paying higher salaries. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics the average salary range for a journalism graduate is a $20,000 - $95,000 per year.
