Online editorial comes out top, with salaries more than double the local press after five years. Journalists starting in local papers are prepared to work for around £14K, compared to £18K online - but if you speak to the NUJ it is not uncommon for basic salaries on local newspapers to be as low as £12K.
Candidates with between 3 and 5 years experience command £24K in the local press but £35K for online titles - that's 46% more.
