HOW MUCH DO TV REPORTERS MAKE? My Starting Salary Offers in TV News (Small to Mid-Size Markets)

If you're an aspiring journalist, you might be wondering, “How much money do TV reporters make?” So in this video, I’m sharing the first salary offers I received from TV news stations in smaller/mid-size markets as a young journalist out of college.
