I’ve had a blog on WordPress for 12+ years and have shared links to posts on social media. I consider it an extensive portfolio for journalism jobs (writer / editor) and wonder if this counts as experience to media industry employers. I’m self-taught using WordPress. Inspiration for my blogging comes from various trips and events. I include my photography to build visual content. I also have 4 years of news writing and copy editing for my college publication. Thanks for any advice!

I’m negotiating my salary, and I’m curious what a reporter/digital editorial lead makes at your company?

I report to my director who reports to our SVP, and I’ve worked for this Fortune 20 company for 10 yrs. Any info would be helpful. Thank you!

The argument that climate change is not man-made has been disproven by science over and over again, yet many people believe that the global crisis is either not real, not of our making, or both, in part because the news media deliberately chooses not to talk about it because it doesn't sell enough.
