How much do reporters make?

For print reporters, anywhere from $15,000 for a full-time reporter at your local surburban weekly paper to over $100,000 as an investigative reporter at a major paper, like the Washington Post, NY Times or Chicago Tribune. Probably an average of $40,000-$50,000 at a big city daily. Be aware that even with a journalism degree and experience, it's hard to break in to this field.
