Politico New York is reporting that The Seventy Four, Campbell Brown’s new education news and advocacy site, is paying editors and reporters from $90-200,000 per year, based on tax filings it obtained.
I don’t know what fulltime education journalism staff positions pay these days, but that seems like a lot of money.
It’s also reminder that one could also look up salaries for other nonprofit education sites — Hechinger, Chalkbeat, EdWeek, perhaps even NPR — by scouring tax filings.
Or perhaps someone somewhere has put together a list of what education news outlets pay – or what top education journalists are making.
