whatever it is , its definately higher than a kopi boy's. regarding journalist pay, i have a friend who had a friend in that line , his friend's indian and he isn't happy about his pay cos he found out he's getting paid less than his colleagues. think he mentioned suspecting its because he's indian

standard market rate just like any grads.
journalists are normally diploma or degree holders they should start around 1200 and 1500 respectively, with no experience. -

I guess a journalist's ultimate goal is to see people recognize him as someone who brings about the news in his personal flair and style ...
To let the readers see and feel exactly what was intentionally written ...
If you love your job, you hardly care about the pay ...

if it's the pay that you're in for ..... then it's no one's fault but your own that you chose this line eh ? ..... -
depends on ur qualifications and experience...
i would say it's justified...... -
Around $2000 - $2500, starting pay, depending on your qualification. -

Man cannot live on salary alone....if you do overseas war coverage, you might get overseas allowances, wartime allowances, etc.
Eh hello.....lots of uni grads are having starting pay of below S$2000 nowadays leh. General degree holders (Arts, Bizad, etc) can get as low as S$1500 starting pay. Use the first job as a tryout.....after that, how you progress depends on you (takes some skill and lots of luck).
I started out with a local engineering degree 15 years ago, with a request for only S$2000 basic (S$400 below market rate at that time). Even so, they bargained this down to S$1800, which I accepted (this was after 6 months of backpacking and lazing around). It was a public-listed US company, but the office here was new and very small back then (about 5 staff only). Then a few months later, I found out that the angmoh boss's house rental in Singapore (Bukit Timah area) was S$12,000 per month!
With basic of S$1800 per month, I was probably the lowest paid among my classmates. This was about right, as I also had the lowest grades in my class. Damn! I spent the horniest years of my life (mid-20's) working like a slave, 14 hours a day, 6 days a week. -

Don't play play.
ITE adverts say that majority of their students get jobs within 3 months of their graduation.
