- «In terms of jobs, journalistic occupations are outperforming the overall economy, according to Michael Mandel, former chief economist at BusinessWeek and founder of Visible Economy LLC. [...] Drawing from numbers based on the Current Population Survey, a monthly survey of roughly 60,000 households conducted by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Census Bureau, Mandel found the overall number of employed journalists increased by 19% from 2007-2010»,

Die neuen Jobs entstehen indes nicht im traditionellen Medienbereich:
- «Over a comparable time period, Mandel notes, employment in newspaper publishing has fallen 26%; periodical employment is down 16%; and radio and television broadcasting is down 11%. Journalists are getting jobs. Just not in the traditional industries or at the companies you would expect. [...]
A shift in journalistic employment to nontraditional companies such as Yahoo and AOL, plus an increase in self-employed journalists has created surprising growth. [...]
And those traditional news companies that are hiring? They aren’t looking for the same old thing any longer.»
