This is particularly useful, for example, in examining staffing and salary levels for the 19 different job titles we asked about. Using the Expanded Report, you can see the difference in salaries for specific jobs between small, medium and large print publication sites, or between daily newspaper sites and other media sites, for instance. The managers of the online news sites of 140 companies worldwide participated in this survey, responding with great detail about the staffing and compensation practices of their sites. The typical online news Web site employs 8 people today. Most online news sites expect significant growth in staff size to occur within the next 12 months.
Small sites expect growth, too.
Daily newspapers were less likely to have laid off online workers than other media sites. Voluntary staff turnover at online news sites is modest. Nearly half of all sites reported no employee departures in the last year. Among those that did lose people, most lost only 1 or 2 online employees. Job satisfaction at this stage of the industry appears to be high.
