Quarter of US journalists plan to quit

A high percentage of US newspaper journalists say they intend to get out of the profession, according to an academic study. Among the biggest reasons were low salaries, long and undesirable hours, and stress. In a survey of 770 journalists, 25.7% said they intended to leave newspaper journalism and 36.2% responded that they didn't know if they would leave. The numbers were even higher for younger journalists (under the age of 34), with 31% intending to leave. (Via E&P)
