Vast swaths of the country are at risk of becoming \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/localnewsinitiative.northwestern.edu\/projects\/state-of-local-news\/explore\/#\/localnewslandscape\">news deserts<\/a>,\u201d with limited access to reliable local journalism. This state of affairs makes it harder for people to make educated decisions and is linked to reduced political engagement,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/00027162231219550\">research shows<\/a>. What\u2019s more, fewer reporters means less oversight of those wielding political and economic power.<\/p>\n<p>But to me, those concerns \u2013 while important \u2013 ignore another issue, one that extends well beyond the news industry. As I argue with Sandra Vera-Zambrano in our new book, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/cup.columbia.edu\/book\/the-journalists-predicament\/9780231207911\">The Journalist\u2019s Predicament<\/a>,\u201d fewer people are seeing a life in news as a worthwhile career. This reflects a broader problem \u2013 namely, the ways that relentless economic pressures are pushing people away from socially important careers.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Meaning over money<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>As an occupation, journalism is attractive to many people because they can be paid to do work that\u2019s interesting and socially beneficial.<\/p>\n<p>In this regard, it is similar to otherwise very different jobs like nursing, teaching, social work and caregiving.<\/p>\n<p>These are \u201cvocations,\u201d in the sense that sociologist Max Weber\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/books.google.com.tr\/books\/about\/The_Vocation_Lectures.html?id=wPaGswEACAAJ&amp;redir_esc=y\">described them<\/a>\u00a0more than a century ago.<\/p>\n<p>Based on strong personal commitments, vocations promise recognition and a sense of self-worth for doing work that\u2019s connected to broader values: healing people, fighting injustice, imparting knowledge, serving the cause of democracy.<\/p>\n<p>While these jobs have never paid especially well, people could get by and raise a family on them. That\u2019s becoming\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.vox.com\/2015\/2\/10\/8011467\/journalist-salaries\">less and less the case<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Across all of these professions, issues with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/09\/13\/opinion\/teachers-schools-students-parents.html\">recruitment<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2023\/05\/02\/1173107527\/nursing-staffing-crisis\">retention<\/a>\u00a0are\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/cronkitenewslab.com\/management\/2021\/12\/30\/local-newsroom-recruitment-crisis-part-1\/\">so common<\/a>\u00a0that the term \u201ccrisis\u201d is no longer an exaggeration.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Dreams clash with reality<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Journalism, in many ways, represents ground zero for the crisis that confronts contemporary vocations.<\/p>\n<p>For one, pay in the industry is stagnant.<\/p>\n<p>With a median wage in 2023 of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bls.gov\/ooh\/media-and-communication\/reporters-correspondents-and-broadcast-news-analysts.htm\">US$57,500<\/a>, journalists\u2019 salaries have not kept pace with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.poynter.org\/business-work\/2022\/journalist-salary-not-wealthy-elites\/\">inflation<\/a>\u00a0or jobs in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/short-reads\/2014\/08\/11\/the-growing-pay-gap-between-journalism-and-public-relations\/\">public relations and corporate communication<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Job security, as ongoing layoffs suggest, is nearly nonexistent. Recent drives to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2024\/02\/14\/1231313556\/media-layoffs-news-guild-union\">unionize newsrooms<\/a>\u00a0have done little to stem losses, and they do nothing at all for the freelancers that constitute\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/short-reads\/2023\/04\/04\/us-journalists-beats-vary-widely-by-gender-and-other-factors\/\">a growing share<\/a>\u00a0of all journalists \u2013 and, for the most part,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/itsalljournalism.com\/575-why-freelance-journalists-should-join-a-union\/\">belong to no union<\/a>\u00a0at all.<\/p>\n<p>Inside or outside newsrooms, work typically involves longer hours and more demands.<\/p>\n<p>And to what end? In many cases, it\u2019s to perform tasks that aren\u2019t that interesting or socially valuable.<\/p>\n<p>The journalists we spoke to bemoaned the relentless demands to churn out new content for websites and social media feeds. They talked about using multimedia to report on topics that were assigned primarily for their potential to amuse and entertain, rather than to inform or provoke thought. They griped about spending more time sitting at their desks sifting through press releases instead of gathering original reports from the field. And they described fewer and fewer opportunities to pursue stories that are personally interesting and socially valuable.<\/p>\n<p>In this context, it is hardly surprising that many people decide to leave journalism, or avoid a career in it entirely. Jobs in public relations pay substantially more, with a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bls.gov\/ooh\/media-and-communication\/public-relations-specialists.htm\">$66,750 median annual wage<\/a>, and involve fixed hours and more stability.<\/p>\n<p>To be sure, these alternative careers might not promise the same adventure and excitement of journalism. But that also means people in that field are less likely to find themselves frustrated by unmet expectations.<\/p>\n<p>More surprising \u2013 and relevant for considering the crisis vocations face more broadly \u2013 is the fact that so many people, despite these conditions, nonetheless still find work in journalism appealing.<\/p>\n<p>This appeal is not naively held. Surveys regularly show that aspiring journalists are\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.niemanlab.org\/2022\/06\/struggle-chaos-no-regrets-journalists-love-the-work-they-do-despite-industry-challenges\/\">well aware<\/a>\u00a0of the troubles confronting the industry. They\u2019re nonetheless still willing to sacrifice better pay and job security for work that allows for self-expression and connects to broader values.<\/p>\n<p>Their persistence, in spite of these conditions, highlights something important about journalism and vocations more broadly: These are careers that provide rewards that cannot be reduced to money.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Creeping disillusionment<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The enduring attraction of contemporary vocations clarifies the nature of the crisis. In contrast to older vocations, such as the priesthood, many people still dream of being journalists, nurses and teachers.<\/p>\n<p>But people who seek out these vocations today routinely find themselves exhausted and demoralized.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nyupress.org\/9781479864300\/labors-of-love\/\">Nurses and caretakers<\/a>\u00a0are encouraged to eliminate \u201cinefficiencies\u201d so that the provision of care does not impede their employers\u2019 ability to make money.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/press.princeton.edu\/books\/hardcover\/9780691240817\/the-last-human-job\">Teachers are tasked<\/a>\u00a0with imparting practical skills to students while becoming more \u201centrepreneurial\u201d themselves as budgets get slashed. Journalists are asked to produce news that conforms to, rather than challenges, audience expectations.<\/p>\n<p>Add in the low pay, and these conditions threaten to reduce the belief that such jobs are worthwhile.<\/p>\n<p>Many of the journalists we spoke to while researching our book find ways to manage the disappointments that come from doing work that stands in tension with what initially drew them. Or they reorient their work to better adapt to the profession\u2019s commercial needs.<\/p>\n<p>The fact that so many persist in the profession \u2013 at least for a while \u2013 should not distract from the frustrations and dissatisfaction that this produces.<\/p>\n<p>At some point, the grip of market forces could erode interest in vocations to such an extent that they disappear altogether. In fact, some vocations today are probably sustained more by their idealized reputations on the silver screen \u2013 in films like \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt1895587\/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_8_nm_0_q_spotlight\">Spotlight<\/a>\u201d and \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0097165\/\">Dead Poets Society<\/a>\u201d \u2013 than they are by the experiences of actual reporters and teachers in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>For the moment \u2013 and for the foreseeable future \u2013 the more likely development is not disinterest, but a struggle to have a career in these fields. That\u2019s not just a failure of a profession overtaken by commercial considerations. It\u2019s a reflection of a society unable to satisfy its citizens\u2019 basic desires for finding meaning through the work they do.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Author Bio:<\/strong> Matthew Powers is Associate Professor of Communication, at the University of Washington<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This year has been a grim one for journalism,\u00a0with layoffs\u00a0at the Los Angeles Times, Time magazine, NBC News, Forbes, National Geographic, Business Insider and Sports Illustrated.\u00a0Further cuts loom\u00a0in newsrooms across the U.S. Growing numbers of reporters and editors, tired of waiting for the other shoe to drop, are exiting the profession,\u00a0citing burnout\u00a0as the reason for [&hellip;]\n&hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/world.edu\/journalism-has-become-ground-zero-for-the-vocation-crisis\/\" class=\"more\">learn more&rarr;<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"author":33,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[13350],"coauthors":[11733],"class_list":["post-73304","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-business-politics","tag-journalism-2"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 -
