ONWARD and UPWARD in AMERICAN JERNALISM:
Why most newspapers don't bother hiring an ombudsman American Journalism Review The reason cited most frequently is money, says Jennifer Dorroh. When Purdue University's Neil Nemeth surveyed public editors in 1999, he found they earned average salaries between $75,000 and $100,000. "Given the choice, most news outlets would rather use that money to hire more reporters -- or not spend it at all," writes Dorroh. No wonder; that's a LOT of money for a professional apologist.
