Abstract
Black journalists, generally, are satisfied with their jobs, especially if they feel their organizations are doing a good job of informing the public, and if they receive positive feedback from those higher in the organization, a 1088 survey of journalists attending the National Association of Black Journalists reveals. Job satisfaction is also related to having some control over the hiring and firing process. The percentage of those not satisfied with their work, however, is about twice the rate of white journalists (other studies reveal), and there seems to be a strong presumption of prejudice, whether “real” or not, that news organizations need to address.Keywords
