Salary for this job?

[Mr. X]

Here's the URL for a memo about the Los Angeles Times hiring of someone two years out of college to cover the Los Angeles Clippers: http://www.laobserved.com/archive/2007/09/larry_stewart_off_tvradio.php#more

How much will he be making? $100,000? More?

Less would be my guess, just because of his lack of experience.

Todo lo que toma para escribir en un periodico grande de la ciudad debe aprender espanol? Bueno que no sabe espanol.

Try half that.

 

[Mr. X]

Try half that.

Los Angeles Times has been long known for its high salaries.

No one is paying a kid less than 2 years out of college 100K to cover the Clippers.

 

[Mystery_Meat]

Uhhhh ... taco supreme!

I'm guessing somewhere like $25,000. For someone living in Los Angeles.

At my shop, he'd get $18,000 a year.

Forget the blue font, forever?

 

[forever_town]

No. The $18,000 a year figure is what we pay entry level reporters at my shop.

I'm trying to think of what I'd realistically pay a cub reporter at The Los Angeles Times based on his experience and what I know of the business. I doubt they'd pay $50K a year to a kid essentially just out of college.

I only use blue when I really am being sarcastic. Better than my old <sarcasm></sarcasm> "HTML tag."

 

[spnited]

They sure as hell are paying him more than 25K ... nowhere close to the 100K that Mr X suggested but I think 50K in LA is realistic

 

[Barsuk]

I would guess $45K to $60K, if I had to guess. No way in hell it's $100K.

How does someone with that little experience get an NBA beat job at one of the nation's largest papers?

Because he came through an LA Times training program .. read Randy Harvey's message:


Jonathan, an Upland native and a 2005 USC graduate, worked for The Times for 18 months as an intern and Metpro trainee before going to the Inland Empire. He has had several front page features and news stories, including coverage of wildfires and dust storms, good training for the Clipper beat.

Because he learned Spanish

How in the hell does anybody live off of that.

 

[Ben_Hecht]

Story just above that, about the radio/TV sports guy being shifted to the racing beat is more amusing . . .

Which, I'm guessing isn't too much?
