1. SABEW Survey (Summer 2011)

For the second year, the Society of American Business Editors and Writers is conducting a confidential survey of business journalists throughout the country to determine the pay for full-time business reporters and editors in various positions.

The data is being updated to determine whether pay for business journalists is rising or falling, by how much, and what positions are seeing the biggest changes in compensation. If you're a freelancer, we'll update our data on your compensation later in the year.

To find out how salaries are changing, we need your help. Please answer the following questions. Answering the questions will take less than a minute, but will provide valuable data for business journalists such as yourselves.
